8.3.2 How to Configure Settings

As a reminder, Settings define criteria for when a Condition is considered to be met. Certain Settings

known as Source Settings are used to define what events are collected by SQL Sentry.

To configure Settings first select the desired node in the Navigator pane. For instance, select the

Shared Groups node if you want to configure Settings globally, or select an individual Connection

node if you would like to configure Settings specific to just that Connection. If you do not see the

Settings pane once you have selected your desired node in the Navigator pane, use the View Menu

(View →Settings). Next you will want to use the drop-down lists found in the Settings pane to select

the Settings which you would like to configure. See below for examples.

For instance, if you wanted to configure the Top SQL Minimum Duration Collection Setting

globally:

1. Select the Shared Groups node in the Navigator Pane

2. In the Settings pane, use the top drop-down list and select SQL Server Settings.
