Alerting on Database Mirroring Events I am looking for the actions one must take to cause Threshold Alerts to occur for a single mirrored database on an instance of SQL Server 2008 containing multiple mirrored databases.

FYI: This is already posted on ServerFault.com and submitted as a bug on Microsoft Connect.
Joe Sack's answer on ServerFault is as good as it gets:

For some background, Joe runs the Microsoft Certified Master of SQL Server program.  He knows his stuff.  (I can vouch for him personally.)
