  • There was a combination of things going on, then. 1) The alert was firing on an application and not a component. 2) We're at SAM 6.2.2. Now that I've changed the alert to trigger on a component and I've used the new macros in my alert email, I can see the message and statistic data values from the script. Thanks for the…

  • I was thinking the same thing... there is a limit on how much a polling engine can handle, so you could overload one if you monitored too much.

  • Got the email, added item to my cart, and then got a "permission denied" page with a URL that included something like "failed session". Tried using the link again and now it's telling me that I have the glass in my cart but don't have any credits for it... * 03/10/2016 @ 12:49pm CST * Pint glass * 1 * N/A

  • I'm having the same problem as the original post... I'm trying to add AppInsight for SQL to several instances in a clustered environment, but the test connection continues to fail.
