How do I monitor SQL Server performance?
There are some Microsoft tools that can help monitor your database performance:
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM)
Performance Monitor
(ships with Windows)
SQL Profiler
(ships with SQL Server client tools)
There are also some third-party tools:
BMC DBXray
BMC Patrol
Embarcadero Performance Center
Heorix eQ
HybridX SQL Spy
Intrinsic Design Coefficient
Mercury Interactive SiteScope
Micromuse Netcool
NetIQ AppManager
NetIQ DiagnosticManager
PUREnetworking ServerMonitor
Quest Foglight
Quest I/Watch
Quest Spotlight
SQL Server Monitor
(The site has a demo, but doesn't make it clear how to obtain the code/product.)
Veritas InDepth
(formerly a product from Precise)
Zero Impact SQL Monitor
Keep in mind that you probably don't want these products running against your SQL Server machine 24x7, since they may take resources away and actually contribute to the problem. I'm sure they are tuned to prevent that, for the most part, but it's doubtful that they could do anything useful without adding *some* resource drain.
If you're troubleshooting a performance problem, might want to double-check configuration options against the recommended set; see the following KB articles.

KB #310834 PRB: Common Causes of Error Message 844 or Error Message 845
