Changes in checkpoints in profiles modifies the checkpoint in all profiles of the SQLServer probe

Issue/Introduction

We need to remove the long-running queries below for only one SQL server. So, we created a new group, “Exclude_long running,” and removed this long_queries alert.

However, if we edit one metric belonging to one template, then it impacts other templates also in the Probe. 

How to remove only required ‘checkpoint names’ without affecting the existing group template?

 

Environment

UIM 20.x, 23.x

sqlserver probe Any

Cause

The group created has the checkpoint type set to "template", which by definition affects all profiles based on this template.

Resolution

To allow changes to only the context of the profile, the group must use the type "static" checkpoint, not "template".

You can right-click on the checkpoint and select "Change to static" to allow this behavior mentioned.
