Q: Is it safe to delete sqlraycliexe? A: If you verified it is in a legitimate SolarWinds folder, no—it will break your database monitoring. If it is anywhere else, yes—delete it immediately.
Q: Why does my laptop get hot only when I open SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio)? A: SSMS triggers the agent to start collecting metrics. The agent then goes into overdrive profiling your queries.
