Description:
If there is an agent configured for multiple database monitoring and it is shut down I get multiple alerts, one for each database it is monitoring. Instead of just one message saying "Database instances x/y/z agent not reachable". 

How to repeat:
Configure an agent for multiple databases and then shut it down.

Suggested fix:
As there is only one agent I should just get a single alert for all databases that the agent is down.

The Advisor can't be disabled for the other monitored servers, otherwise that could be used as a workaround.
