I have set up a PRTG sensor to monitor the status of SQL service on remote server. I have received "warning" and "down" alerts with the detail: 80041006: There was not enough memory for the operation. This is followed by an "up" alert.
Does that mean I have a memory problem on PRTG or the remote system? What is the fix?
Thanks.

Dear Scott,
this is an issue on the target host. But unfortunately the message does not necessarily refer to 'free available memory' (RAM), it might be the special reserved OS-memory. I'm afraid there is very little we can do from PRTG with this 'error'.
best regards.
