Título
The number of SQL Server Error log alarms are less than SQL Server error log dashboard. -
Descripción
The SQL Server error log contents in SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) and in the Foglight Error Log panel are different than the alarm displayed in the Alarms dashboard and those fired from Foglight. This is taking cleared and historical alarms into consideration.

Resolución
In 2013 as part of Enhancement SSDB-9413 a mechanism was added to the SQL Server cartridge to files the Error Log messages to show only one error of the exact same message in one iteration.
The improvement was done in both of these alarms
- DBSS - SQL Agent Error Log Message
- DBSS - SQL Server Error Log Message
The data of the topology is collected every X seconds and the alarm is fired once every five minutes and collects all of the errors of the last X minutes. Therefore, there some alarms that would look the same. The enhancement creates only one alarm instead of multiple alarms of the same type.
