Why is it not possible to review the collected data for a server that is no longer accessible for some reason?
When a target is unwatched on SQLSentry, it does not show the collected data, it requires watching. However, watching means activating data collection and it should be able to show the old data that has already been collected without any problems when there is no such need. This situation is mostly impossible when you want…
Excluding specific waits from alert conditions?
Is it possible to create a version of the High Avg Wait Time Per User Session which excludes specific waits from the calculation? Specifically, I'd like to have the condition exclude waits caused by parallelism (CXPACKET, CXCONSUMER) but include all other waits. The default condition is only looking at the sum of all waits…
Is the documentation for Poral Health Overview correct?
This seem be similar to a previous question I asked about the desktop health score vs. the portal health score, but it's really only about the portal behavior. The SQL Sentry Portal Health documentation says in the Overview The Health Score (shown above) is calculated by incorporating open alerts and their associated…
Migration/rebuild of SQL Sentry architecture & switch to EPI
I'm currently running a very basic setup - single monitoring server, 4 monitored SQL Server instances with 2 in the "primary" domain and 2 in a subdomain with a one-way trust relationship, Windows Authentication everywhere. I've installed and upgraded this via the Unified Installer. Now, I need to expand this to multiple…
SQL Sentry - Is there a way to add PerfMon counters to be monitored/logged?
What I was hoping to accomplish is to be able to add PerfMon counters that are not available in the Performance Counter History report. Can SQL Sentry be customized to monitor/log additional PerfMon counters? If so, how?
Blocking (Lead Blockers and Blocked Processes), Deadlock and Connection Count (Running, Runnable, Suspended, Sleeping) Charts
Why can't we see data such as Blocking (Lead Blockers and Blocked Processes), Deadlock and Connection Count (Running, Runnable, Suspended, Sleeping) graphically on main dashboard? These graphics will help us to easily and quickly provide information about the moment of the problem.
For SQL Sentry - is there a hint/direction on how to alert on a particular SQL query that runs every 3 hours - if it aborts then alert me. Else do nothing.

How to filter out a specific blocked application in SQL Server Blocking notifications? (Condition Filter)
How do I add a program or application name to the Condition Filter for a blocked program (not Head application)? I get a SQL Server Blocking alert notification for an application/program that I don't want to get an email about, while I still want to receive blocking notifications for all other programs/applications. I'm…
SQL Sentry Health Score in Portal is broken
Beginning a week ago the Health Score charts in the web portal are not working. They all display "There is no data to display" The health score in the client is fine. Currently on 2024.3.1. There is a 2024.3.9 but this is not available for the EPI customers. The 2024.3 version as a whole isn't available as selection when…
The advisory condition "Availability Replicas with Disks in Same Datastore". Does it really measure what is intended.
I got positives when we have one replica with multiple disks in one data store. The description says This condition evaluates to True when multiple Availability Replicas from the same Availability Group have their VMDKs in the same VMware Datastore. But it looks to me that it is enough to have multiple VMDKs in the same…
