Create at least a warning event for error messages relating the creation of SafeGuarded Copies

My customers have a FS5300 and 55TB of SGC-protected space. We considered doing snapshots every half an hour using Copy Services Manager. We found out, that the bitmap is too small to handle this. We could see some errors in CSM, but not an event or an alert inside the Flash System. Since the creation of SafeGuarded Copies is an important way to be safe against Ransomware attacks, the failure to create SGCs is an important information. SafeGuarded Copies should work normally with a 'shoot and forget' principle. Only in the event of a ransom ware attack it will be necessary to look at the Copy Services Manager again.

Even Storage Insights Pro did not mention the problems creating the SG copies.
