                        Hi @Alex B ,   Thanks for the detailed explanation and workaround.  I made the config change on the base monitoring instance responsible for the SQL Server where the offline DB lives and the errors stopped immediately.  I'll keep and eye out for your updates   Thanks again!

   Error 2   Date        8/6/2021 9:03:39 AM Log        SQL Server (Current - 8/6/2021 9:03:00 AM)  Source        spid80  Message Could not find database ID 9, name '<REDACTED>'. The database may be offline. Wait a few minutes and try again.
