The MsSqlErrorTest reports the rate at which errors occur on the Microsoft SQL Server.

Note: This test reports measures only for Microsoft SQL Server version 2005 and above.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MsSqlErrorTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• Enter the full path to the log file to be monitored in the FILEPATH text box.

• If the error log file to be monitored is encoded with UTF-16, then, set the ISUTF16 flag to Yes. By default, this flag is set to No.

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to YES, then it means that all managed Microsoft SQL servers are passive servers in a SQL cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the servers are not up.

• Once the aforesaid values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
