In some installations, certain system databases may not be accessible —
for example, the model
database can be inaccessible if Microsoft SQL
Server is installed on AWS. Previously, this situation caused monitoring
errors.
Starting with this release, you can configure the monitoring to ignore
such databases. Currently, the following system databases can be excluded:
model
, master
, msdb
and tempdb
using GUI or editing config file entry
exclude_databases
, which represents the list of strings in config section
connection
.
