A five-minute collector reads important error log entries from the best
source the agent's rights allow: the error log itself (xp_readerrorlog,
only with securityadmin), the default trace's ErrorLog and Audit Login
Failed events (optional ALTER TRACE), or the exception and connectivity
ring buffers (VIEW SERVER STATE: numbers and severity, failed logins).
Repetitions are summed per error; the watermark is the newest entry
read, because the default trace is buffered. Stored in
insight.ErrorLogEvents (migration 0013, EventDays), resumed after restart.
Rules SQLI-LOG-001..006: corruption 823/824/825, I/O over 15 s (833),
severe errors (17+), login failure bursts (configurable), stack dumps and
AG errors; rules needing the log text are "not measurable" with the
right to grant. Page /instanser/{navn}/fejllog (menu Overvågning) and
GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/error-log with messages redacted.
