MCS SQL Server profile Monitor Button is greyed out

Products

Issue/Introduction

I have tried to create a SQL Server (Enhanced) profile but I'm not able to save the profile even though I have filled everything in as required that i can tell but it just won't enable the monitor button.

Despite SQL Server Enhanced Profile being filled in with all required fields the “MONITOR” button is greyed out.

 

 

Environment

Release : UIM 20.x

Component : UIM - MON_CONFIG_SERVICE

Cause

The is a defect in the probe that makes this issue happen when having policy_mode_enabled = false in the MCS configuration. 

Having policy_mode_enabled = False is a prerequisite for alarming on those profiles:

 

Manage Monitoring Using MCS Profile Types (broadcom.com)

For-Each does not create default alarm policies. As a pre-requisite, disable the flag policy_mode_enabled = false in mon_config_service probe under configure/timed section. The thresholds are configured at template level.

 

Resolution

Development has released a Fix for this issue: sqlserver_mcs_templates-5.48-SNAPSHOT.zip

The official hotfix It will be included in the susequent GA Release of the template.
