The MSSQL monitoring has been reworked to have one single service per database instance that reports connection issues like a stopped database. This is done by the mssql_instance check.

All other MSSQL checks have been reworked to become stale in case there is a connection issue and no data is present.

As a result you will only receive one notification and see only the relevant issue in the GUI in case an instance goes down.

To make this work you will have to update the mssql.vbs agent plugin on all your database servers.
