Hi,
I've just installed Redgate Monitor - 14.0.22.19556.
I've just added a test server which has no backup jobs. It does have azure site recovery setup so it does quiesce the databases every few hours as part of it's sync. The backups via azure site recovery show up in msdb...backupset as copy only. Redgate Monitor appears to be including them as a valid backup. I only want non copy only backups to be considered a valid backup however I can't find any configuration options in the alert. Is this possible or does it need to be a custom metric?

I've looked through documentation as well and it does appear that this needs to be a custom metric. I didn't find anything that would designate specific backup types as the only valid source.
