The document discusses configuring SQL Server Agent Alerts to monitor for errors and performance issues on a SQL Server. It explains that Database Mail and an Operator need to be configured first. Then it provides steps for creating alerts using SSMS or T-SQL scripts to monitor specific severity errors from 19-25 as well as error 825. Performance condition alerts can also be configured to monitor server performance.

- 4. You can create each of the Alerts by specifying the name and selecting the severity. For Error 825 you would select Error and type the number. As with the Operator, I prefer to use TSQL. If I can easily script a process then it is much easier to reuse and include as part of a server build. Below you will find the script that I have used on my SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition. This script creates each of the alerts and adds a notification for the alert to the Operator SQL_Alerts. EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Severity 19 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 19, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 19 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Severity 20 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 20, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 20 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name=N'Severity 21 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 21, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 21 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Severity 22 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 22, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 22 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1;
- 5. EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Severity 23 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 23, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 23 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Severity 24 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 24, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 24 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Severity 25 Error', @message_id = 0, @severity = 25, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Severity 25 Error', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name = N'Error 825', @message_id = 825, @severity = 0, @include_event_description_in = 0; EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_notification @alert_name = N'Error 825', @operator_name = N'SQL_Alerts', @notification_method = 1; If you have followed along, you would have database mail configured, created an Operator to email you or a distribution group about potential errors, and SQL Server Agent Alerts configured for Severity 19 – 25 and error 825. This is great. Any time one of those alerts are triggered an email will be sent to your team. In addition to event alerts, alerts can be configured for a performance condition, To find the SQL Server performance condition alerts, in the new alert dialog box, click the drop down box for Type. There you will see SQL Server performance condition alert listed. Once you chose that
