SQL Server Management Pack key monitoring scenarios Availability of discovered components: all discovered components are monitored for their availability.Availability of discovered components: all discovered components are monitored for their availability. Monitoring for blocked single server process IDs (SPIDs).Monitoring for blocked single server process IDs (SPIDs). Periodically queries the database engine for a list of SPIDs. If blocking SPID is detected (exceeds the given threshold), then a red state and an alert are generated. Data file and log file space monitoring.Data file and log file space monitoring. Total data file and log file free space is monitored and checked against percentage and size in megabytes based thresholds. Long-running agent jobsLong-running agent jobs Maximum job duration is compared against the thresholds on a per agent basis. If a single job runs to long, a red state and an alert are generated.
