What is Utility Control Point (UCP) in SQL Server ?
The SQL Server Utility models an organization’s SQL Server-related entities in a unified view. Utility Explorer and SQL Server Utility viewpoints in (SSMS) provide administrators with a holistic view of resource health through an instance of SQL Server that serves as a utility control point (UCP). The UCP collects configuration and performance information from managed instances of SQL Server every 15 minutes by default.
