    I'm trying to override the Percentage Change in DB Space monitor for all databases on a specific instance. I create the group in the UI, specify I want SQL Databases with Host DBEngine InstanceName (Note: also tried DisplayName) = MyInstance. I get the below error message when I try to finish the wizard. Can anyone help? Running latest SQL MP with R2.

    It looks like the group populator module is not writing the necessary references to your MP - which are needed.  It is using the "host" class, which in your case is "SQL DB Engine".... however - the properties are you are choosing are not directly defined properties of that class... they are INHERITED properties from a parent class, Instance Name is from SQL Role, and Display Name is from "Entity".  This is causing the issue.

    I'd recommend using a differente property, something that is directly a discovered property of SQL DB Engine class... such as, "SQL Server Windows Service Name" or "Connection String"

    Hi Chris

    It looks like you get this error creating the group?

    Can you create other groups based on other criteria without a problem?

    What management pack are you saving your group to? Have you been saving groups (and overrides) to the default management pack?

    Cheers

    Yes, it happens when I try to create the group. I can create groups with other criteria without an issue. I just created a group with just SQL Databases with a specific name with no problem. If I try to do a database with any of the DB Engine properties it fails.

    Here's the criteria:

    ( Object is SQL Database AND ( SQL DB Engine.Display Name

    Equals MyInstance) AND True )

    Can you post up the references section of the management pack that you are saving the group to? There seem to be a fair number of "Failed to verify referenced module" errors.

    Cheers

    Created a new MP called SQL Server Overrides, here is what it looks like after trying to save the group, pretty much blank.
