What are the baseline items you would want to set up for monitoring SQL Server with SAM? I ask because I am a systems admin with little experience with SQL Server. Our databases seem to require an enormous amount of memory (over 100 GB) when we have less than 500 employees and only fractions of that number are working in the databases throughout the day. I'd just like to know what others monitor to get an idea of where to start taking the pulse of these servers.
