Hello all, we get questions from time to time asking how alarms in Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise can be configured to match a specific customers need.  Questions such as:

1) As a database administrator, all of my critical data files are on my F and G drives.  I don’t want to monitor those drives with the same thresholds and alerts as I do my C drive.

2) I have different backup policies for different databases on my servers and I don’t want to alarm on every database the same way.

All of these use cases can be met with Spotlight on SQL Server Enterprise’s alarm configurations.  Please watch the video below to see how its done.  If anyone has any questions or comments, or you want to be walked through a use case of your own, leave a comment or post in the forums!
