I am working with AppInsight for SQL template, and trying to adjust component thresholds to reflect our event management requirements. One item that is particularly frustrating is the SQL Agent Job Component. No matter what I supply for warning or critical state it does not appear to follow similar rules in it's effect upon overall instance state.
For example, Buffer Cache Hit Ratio. If you leave the warning and critical thresholds empty (not configured) that component will always show green/up status regardless of current value collected. This in turn rolls up into the overall instance state contributing green/up status to the pool of other component monitors.
In the case of SQL Agent Job Info. If you leave the warning and critical threshold values empty or set a very high number for warning and critical state on this component, if one job fails that component is identified in critical state and the instance is then identified in critical state.
Is there a way around this issue, minus disabling the SQL Agent Job component on the AppInsight template?
