On a distributor, a 15-minute collector reads each distribution agent's
latest run (status, latency, message) and replication errors the last
day from the distribution database. That needs SELECT on
MSdistribution_agents, MSdistribution_history and MSrepl_errors, which
the agent does not have by default (never the replicated commands);
without it SQLI-REPL-001 (agent failed/retrying, High) and SQLI-REPL-002
(latency > 5 min, Medium) are "not measurable" with the exact grant, and
"not relevant" elsewhere. Shown on the instance page and in
GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/replication. Tested against a real
distributor set up in the SQL 2022 container.

SQLI-SVC-001 (High) reports a service set to start automatically that is
not running (SQL Server Agent, Full-text launcher, Launchpad …), from the
sys.dm_server_services data the configuration collector already reads
(2008 R2 SP1+; not relevant before). The service account is sensitive.

- new collector instance-config: collation, edition, version, services and
accounts (sys.dm_server_services, 2008 R2 SP1+), Instant File
Initialization and Lock Pages in Memory (where the build has the
columns), tempdb files, default paths; plus a fingerprint of the whole
setup (sp_configure, trace flags, services, version, tempdb files)
- changes are computed against the previous collection, which the agent
restores from the repository after a restart; migration 0008 keeps them
in insight.ConfigurationChanges (as long as resolved findings)
- SQLI-CFG-013 "Konfiguration ændret": information for a day when
sp_configure, a trace flag or a service account changes (account names
are sensitive evidence)
- page /instanser/{navn}/konfiguration: instance, CPU and memory, services,
tempdb, trace flags, non-default sp_configure (default vs. in use vs.
configured) and the change log; linked from the instance page
- the management report lists configuration changes in the period
- trace flag reading shared by trace-flags and instance-config
