Feature Request - (Log) Backup to exclude snapshot databases

oderks

I'd like to have a generic option on de (Log) Backup overdue alert to exclude snapshot databases.

I don't know if SQL Monitor already keeps these out, but if not, then also an option to exclude offline databases (or as Microsoft put in SQL 2008: databases that are not online)

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your post.

Generating "Log backup overdue" alert for snapshot database is definitely a bug. Currently, we do not handle snap shot as special case which ideally we should do. I have logged this as SRP-3621.

Regarding offline database, do you want a generic option for this too? You can exclude individual database from certain alert using Alert Settings.

Thanks,
Priya

Per alert it should be evaluated if adding an option 'exlude non-online databases' is an added value option.

One generic option for all alerts to exclude this would be too generic.

Thanks for clarifying.

I just received backup overdue for snapshot databases. Not sure if you included it for this bugfix, but thought it wise to mention here.
