Can someone from RG comment as this looks really odd and I have logged it with our service desk as a phishing attempt. The from is supposedly CEO Tony Payne, yet your site info has another name....I too looked at the hubspotemail as a funny address to follow, same for the link that was supposedly to your site. This needs to be officially corrected before I will believe it. / comments

Ok - that's good to know. So the only time the traffic would be pulled from the 2nd basemonitor/repository is for web console sessions.
I assume the documentation details what must be done to split a license or be able to register a license in each base monitor, assuming for license count reasons the monitors talk to each other...

Thanks for the response. Further question would be does the local base monitor (storing locally), also execute the alert checks, or is that in the console on the primary server. IE where does the alert checking and notification actually run, within the base monitor+repository or within the console app?
We could handle having the site B all handled locally with no interaction to the main Site A as well I assume.

a further add - on question - so in order to minimize the impact on the targets over the WAN, we could entertain a second instance of the base monitor...with a customized config file with only what we need to monitor - how would this share licenses with the current existing installation? / comments

I should mention that the "preset" was greyed out....yet when I clicked on default pre-set , I now see the sql server top queries for example now saying interval of a min....almost looks like a glitch from the last upgrade maybe? [image]
This might be explaining a lot - will explore the high-performance preset as well. Are there descriptions/details of what the various settings are doing/alerts they are for etc? / comments

Adam - I found the config file and made a copy, and opened the config file in the utility - are there any recommendations for settings as the defaults look very frequent, in fact some have an interval of zero hours, minutes and seconds...so continually checking? examples: sql server top queries, sql server error log scanning, database file statistics, SQL user connections....these all seem to have default settings of zero for interval? Others like machine uptime every 15 seconds seems too frequent for this metric too.
The version we are using is 5.0.....and yeah, I know, we should upgrade...(smile).....I assume the repository ones are for the sql monitor repository db/instance, but what are the cluster ones for? I would be most interested in knowing the impacts of setting the intervals higher (other than reducing granularity in the graphs - that's obvious...) especially for the ones that seem to be continual.
Thanks

Thanks Adam - that is more what I might be looking for - since this applies to the base monitor service, I assume it affects all monitored targets - in this case we would want to selectively modify the collections/queries that generate the most network traffic, and ideally only apply those collections/queries for the active alerts for just the target instances that are over the WAN link...the local LAN targets we would want to keep as is - is this possible?

Thanks for the response - what I am after is how to potential fine tune the data collection that occurs perhaps as frequently as every 15 sec for example, as the amount of traffic to/from the sql monitor server to the monitored targets over the slow(err) speed WAN is substantial (2-3 GB) and a potential concern. Ideally there would be a way to find out how frequently the check/data-collection for a particular alert is executed, and create a custom one to execute less frequently. / comments

any idea of how we can potentially tune this alert for specific targets? / comments
any idea of how we can potentially tune this alert for specific targets?
How to find out how often a specific alert executes?/impact?
We have sql monitor running against target servers and databases over a WAN and were surprised to find out from our network team the amount of transfer per day. How do we determine how frequently ...
