How to read it

  • Issues reducing score lists each problem with its point deduction and severity — for example, a database with no recorded full backup (−20, critical) or a query running over 10 seconds (−5, warning).
  • Passing checks lists what is healthy: CPU utilisation, memory utilisation, drive free space, page life expectancy, blocking chains and failed SQL Agent jobs.
