two question upon Idera SQL DM features

by Nov 9, 2014

Hi,

For example, while inctallation of the SQL Diagnostic Manager I entered a name of a mssql instance that I want to monitor?
does the SQL Diagnostic Manager make any objects/services in the mssql instance/databases or in a windows server where the ms sql instance is running?

and another question. Can SQL Diagnostic Manager track performance using something like automatic detection and calculation of normal ranges for all metrics, and send alerts about deviations from normal activity?
