Service Configuration Reload Error

Microsoft.ActiveDirectoryFederationServices.2016.FederationServerServiceConfigurationReloadErrorMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor indicates that the federation server failed to refresh its cache.This monitor will generate a Yellow state if Event ID 221 occurs at least three times within 1 hour. If the same problem does not happen again within 15 minutes, the health state of this monitor will change back to a Green state. The alert that is generated by this monitor must be resolved manually.

Causes

Network delays or time-outs may have occurred while the Federation Service was trying to reload service configuration data. This might occur if the federation server and the computer that is running SQL Server that hosts its configuration data are located across network links in different sites, and where latency is an issue.

Resolutions

Consider relocating the computers that are used for the Federation Service and SQL Server closer to each other.
