I'm trying to create an alerting rule to warn if the MSSQLServer service on a 
cluster node stops (good warning that the cluster is operating on the other 
node).  I am not alerting on anything else on this server.  I want the alerting 
rule structured like this:


Code:
Event State = New
Production State = Production
Severity = Error
Device begins with servername1
Summary contains Windows Service 'MSSQLSERVER' is down



Unfortunately, every time I add that last line (the Summary) and save, the 
rule's Where clause looks like it is completely blank.  However, if you append 
"/manage" to the URL you can see that the rule and the full Where clause still 
exists.  After I took the single-quotes out of the summary (in the /manage 
section) and saved the rule, everything displayed properly--but I don't think 
the rule will match any more.  I'm going to put the quotes back in and see if 
the alerting rule will actually work, and post the result.

I haven't yet tried the rule to see if it will, in fact, work; but it does seem 
like a mysterious disappearing Where clause is somewhat of a bug. ;-)
