SQL Sentry is a pretty cool monitoring system but there's a downside to having so many knobs to turn:

it's next to impossible to find out which knobs have been turned. Let's look at an example.

First I built a five replica multi-subnet Availability Group using my PowerShell module OftenOn. Then

I've manually installed SentryOne and watched all the replicas while splitting them between two sites;

Seattle and Dallas. I could only get an evaluation license which covers one replica so the rest are not

being actively monitored but that's not important at the moment.
