Monitor Database up or down and email to DBA

HI,

I like to know what different tools and scripts different people are using to monitor their SQL 2005 Databases.

We need to monito two services they are up and running all the time.

MSSQLServer & SQLAgent

Currently we have 3 different sql 2005 server and each one have 4 databases, we like to monitor.

Thanks in advance

I hear good things about Quest's Spotlight and Idera's Diagnostic Manager, but haven't worked with either enough to be able to recommend them myself.

Ask in the tools group (http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.tools) or the Tools forum (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=84&SiteID=1)

HTH...
