Whenever the monitor is in Warning or Error state then an attempt to execute a request by the reporting WAP component with a Resource Provider failed. See the following conditions to decide if further investigation is required:

If the system is working correctly and the monitor is in Warning or Error then a transient network issue may have caused the event. No need to act on it.

If monitor is in Warning or Error and another alert has been reported then make note of the affected machine and component, open the Windows Event Log in that machine and look for the event log for the component: applications -> Microsoft -> Windows Azure Pack -> MgmtSvc-[component] -> Operational.

Resource Provider SQL Servers or Databases not available

Network failure

Access account credentials (or certificates) expired or account permissions were changed

Hardware failure

Power failure
