This did not occur on previous version of SQL Monitor. Web server: Microsoft-IIS/10.0. Error occurs every 15 seconds or so. Do not to fill logs so have now turned off (suspended) SQL Monitor.

This is a known bug in certain versions of SQL Server. If you're using any version of 2008 or some versions of 2012, you'll be hit by this if unpatched and using Extended Events (which have been turned on by default in 9.0.8).

There's no workaround we can offer unfortunately, other than to disable Extended Events, as it uses the sys.fn_exe_file_target_read_file​ sproc.

There's more information on this here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2878139/fix-using-dbghelp-dll-version-4-0-5-error-is-logged-in-sql-server-2012. Unfortunately the fixes are only for SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012 and obviously with 2008 being out of Mainstream support for so long they are unlikely to issue the fix for it at all now.
