BI services monitoring
In SQL BI Manager 1.0, any BI service must have a local instance of SQL Server installed to be registered for monitoring. For machines where a BI service is running without a local SQL Server instance, installing a copy of SQL Server Express on the target machine allows those services to be monitored. This limitation will be corrected in an upcoming release.
Users that want to stop monitoring a specific BI service should use “Disable Monitoring” which is accessible through the “gear” icon to the right of the service instance name in the service (SSAS, SSRS, SSIS) view. Selecting Remove will remove the service instance and any associated monitored BI services will stop collecting data and sending alerts as a result. Adding users
SQL BI Manager is designed to add users and grant access as needed. However, users that lack an account on the local SQL BI Core Repository fail to be added as new users in the Administration tab. Please register new users with the SQL BI Core Repository before adding them to SQL BI Manager.
Some recently added users may experience issues when login in the SQL BI Manager console regardless of their Administration or Read Only privileges, or correct Windows credentials. An incorrect user name or password message displa ys. This is a result of the above requirement to register new users with the SQL BI Core Repository before adding them to SQL BI Manager. Alerts/Data
