INFO - Can write sp_Blitz to table to get a ongoing log:
sp_Blitz @OutputDatabaseName=‘DbaTools’,@OutputSchemaName=‘dbo’,@OutPutTableName=‘Blitz’ Only the database needs to be created. Useful to tell what has changed over the last year. e.g. on 1-Jan - 6 servers with 170 P1 issues. 31-Dec, 17 servers with 52 P1 issues.
INFO - Can get sp blitz to export to markdown
sp_blitz @OutputType=‘markdown’
Markdown format, Nice for stackoverflow
