SCOM 2012 R2 SQL DB State monitoring

Question
-
Hey all,
Am really scratching my head here because I cannot find anything anywhere that has my issue.
We have SCOM 2012 R2 and as a test I have been doing various bits and pieces to test SQL DB monitoring.
If I delete or put a database offline or anything along those lines it takes nearly an hour before an alert will come through.
Is there something I am missing? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks all

Hi Shane,
>>If I delete or put a database offline or anything along those lines it takes nearly an hour before an alert will come through.
It would be caused by the default state checking interval "3600" seconds:
You can override this monitor .

First, ensure you have the SQL management pack(s) for your version of SQL imported to your management group. Deleting/Detaching a database will not necessarily generate an alert, but the 'Database Status' monitor will tell you if it's offline/suspect/recovery, but if you want tighter monitoring you'll need to override the interval.
