I had the opportunity to speak at the SQL Bangalore UG Meet on 22nd December 2012. A big thank you to Vinod Kumar (B | T) for organizing this meet!!

The topic that I presented on was the SQL Server System Health Session which has been there since SQL Server 2008 and has been further enhanced in SQL Server 2008.

The MSDN documentation on the System Health Session is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff877955.aspx

All the System Health Session articles that I have written are available in this summary post: https://troubleshootingsql.com/2012/09/24/system-health-session-and-beyond/ (The RDL files for the reports demoed can be downloaded from here)

System Health Session Custom Reports for management studio can be downloaded from here: https://troubleshootingsql.com/2011/09/28/system-health-session-part-4/ (Note that the custom SSMS reports only work for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 instances)

Presentation delivered at the meet is available above!

As usual it was good fun presenting at the session! And what I really like about such sessions is that I get to meet the #SQLFamily in person!!
