SQL Diagnostic Manager allows you to select when and for which alert states you receive alert notifications. You can select from the following options regarding when you want SQL Diagnostic Manager to display notifications:

Always show console alert notifications

Provides alert notifications occur after every refresh.

Only show console alert notifications when a state transition occurs

Limits the alert notifications you receive on refreshes to only those that change states.

Never show console alert notifications

Prevents the occurrence of all console notifications, but you continue to receive all email alerts. This setting is dependent upon your particular needs and you can modify the alert at any point. If you receive too many notifications, consider limiting notifications to occur only after an alert state transition. However, if you monitor a problematic SQL Server and want to know when a threshold is met, consider monitoring all alert states.

Select from the following options regarding which alert statuses trigger notifications:

Show all alert statuses

  Display notifications for all alert state changes.

Show Warning and Critical alerts

  Display notifications only when an event triggers a Warning or Critical alert.

Show Critical alerts only

  Display notifications only when an event triggers a Critical alert.

...

The options in the When should SQL Diagnostic Manager play sounds section allow you to toggle whether you want to hear an audible notification along with the alert in SQL Diagnostic Manager whenever an event triggers a critical alert. The default For all console notifications option helps to let you know of any notification within SQL Diagnostic Manager. Select Only for critical notifications and SQL Diagnostic Manager plays the audible notification only when an event triggers a critical alert.
