Aleksey Vitsko wants an alert:
You have an Azure SQL Managed Instance and you want to set up SQL Server alerts for errors with severity 17-25, similar what you would do for an on-prem SQL Server. You go to the SQL Server Agent folder in Object Explorer, expand it, and whoops – there is no Alerts folder.
As of time of writing this article (June 2025), Azure SQL Managed Instance doesn’t have this functionality, and we don’t have any ETA on when it will be implemented. So, how can we setup alerts in Azure SQL MI to notify us when there are issues?
Read on for a workaround and a warning.
