Add additional services to alerts

If you wish to track additional services, this article explains how to add a custom Service alert into the application. Run the following script against the Syskit Insights database.

INSERT INTO [Alerts].[AlertDefinitions] (FarmId, Name, IgnorePeriod, Type, Configuration, Enabled, SendToDefaultEmail, SendToAdditionalEmails, AdditionalEmailRecipients)
SELECT Farm.ID,
   '{AlertName}',
   30,
   1,
   '<SearchServiceCheckConfig xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/SysKit.Insights.Business.Alerting.CreateConfigurations">
       <ServiceNameToCheck>-- SERVICE NAME HERE ---</ServiceNameToCheck>
   </SearchServiceCheckConfig>',
   1,
   1,
   0,
   ''
From [dbo].[Farms] as Farm
WHERE Farm.Name = '{FarmName}'

Replace the properties in curly brackets (AlertName and FarmName) and input the Service name you wish to start tracking. Most common request we have been receiving is to add a Workflow Manager Service. In that case you would input: WorkflowServiceBackend as that is the service name.
