Don't check Agent status for Express Edition

HugoKornelis

Whenever I add a server to the monitoring that is Express Edition, I get alerted that the SQL Agent service is not running.

Well d'uh. It's Express Edition. The Agent service cannot run on it.

Instead of always giving me this alert and then having me go in and disable it for yet another server, why not change the logic to not raise this alert at all when the edition is detected as Express?

Hi Hugo,

Thanks for highlighting this and adding the suggestion to UserVoice. I've logged this as SRP-11967 and we'll try to fix this soon - I'll post again when I have an update.

It turns out this was already fixed in v. 9.0.10 released 1st May, so it should just be that you were not on the latest version?
