Please note that this Monitor Pack contains Auto Remediation

Hello All,

Please note that this Monitor Pack contains Auto Remediation and if detects that any of the SQL Services are not running it will start them.  Please be aware that if you are running a Clustered Environment that you may want to have two Monitor Packs one for the Active Server with Auto Remediation and one without applied to the Standby Server or you may want to remove the Remediation completely.

Many Thanks for your attention.
