Edit Live Alerts

Live alerts are simple SQL scripts to identify issues to your environment.

To get to the Edit screen select the Edit Live Alerts context button on the Live Report screen.

You can easily disable and enable your live alerts as well as adding your own live alerts. To add or remove an alert simply go to the live alert configurations page and simply mark the alert as active or slide to make it inactive.

On the edit screen for the system alerts you can add exceptions and customize the thresholds for certain system alerts.

To add a custom live alert go to the add live alert button on configuration screen. Then a new row of the Custom live alert comes up like below

When adding/editing a custom live alert you can add a script of the custom alert you want. Exclusions are available to custom alerts.

Threshold Edit

You will not be able to change the description for the threshold, only the variable.

Exclusion Edit

Here you can add an exclusion clause and set the dates you want this exclusion to run between. Exclusions allow you to prevent email and alert spam for known reoccurring exceptions. See below for some examples of exclusions. In the first example below we are excluding DBCC CHECKDB from the list of long-running queries.
