Alerts in Managed instance

Nitya V 45

I am looking at setting up alerts on the managed instance based of

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/agent/create-an-alert-using-an-error-number?view=sql-server-ver16

where it states it applies to MI

However I encounter error.

I need to setup alerts for error code 823-825

and severity 016-025

How can I achieve that

SQL Server Agent feature alerting is not supported in SQL Database Managed Instance. Review the documentation for supported options.

@Nitya V Thank you for sharing additional information.

It seems you’re trying to set up alerts on a SQL Database Managed Instance using the SQL Server Agent feature, but you’ve encountered an error stating that alerting is not supported in this context. The error message indicates that the SQL Server Agent’s alerting feature is not supported on SQL Database Managed Instances.

This is the correct doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/agent/create-an-alert-using-an-error-number?view=sql-server-ver16 but not all sql agent are supported

Refer to the second link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/transact-sql-tsql-differences-sql-server?view=azuresql#sql-server-agent

As an alternative Approach: To set up alerts for Azure SQL Managed Instance, you should use the Azure portal or Azure Monitor instead of SQL Server Agent. You can find a guide on how to create alerts using the Azure portal here.

For more detailed instructions and best practices, you can refer to the Microsoft Learn article on setting up alerts and notifications for Azure SQL Managed Instance using the Azure portal here.

I am looking at migrating alerts for some error code(823,824,825) and severity code(16-25) that we receive on our On prem SQL to the SQL MI. We see very limited metrics to setup these alerts

Sorry for the issue you are facing with alerts in SQL MI. Seems like this is not a bug after checking internally. I believe that was a misunderstanding from my end.

After going through the following docs, the error number you would like to create alerts on is not supported in Azure SQL MI.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/errors-events/mssqlserver-825-database-engine-error?view=sql-server-ver16

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/errors-events/database-engine-error-severities?view=sql-server-ver16

I would suggest raising this feature request at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/search/?q=azure+sql

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
