Autogrow And Alerts
Oct 31, 2000Is there a way that I can get SQL Server to tell me (Alert?) when it has grabbed another chunk of space for a database that has the "Automatically grow file" option set?

DB Does Not Autogrow
Jul 24, 2007Good Morning,
I am having a problem where I have a process that seems to fill up the database but the database does not seem to grow like it should. The database is set to autogrow by 10%... the database is around 15-16GB and it is right over 16GB when it fails. This happens once a week lately. nothing on the server has changed.
the strange thing is when you look at the database properties through EM it shows as no space available but when you do a shrink file and look at the log and data files there are over almost 2GB free on the data file and 1GB free on the log... it does no make sense...
in order for EM to show there is free space I have to add over 5GB to the data file and 1.5 GB to the log file. then processes continue...
is there something that I am missing??
SQL 7 Database Won't Autogrow
Feb 27, 2000I have a database that was autogrowing fine and now has stopped. I'm using MS SQL 7 and the database in question just reaced 32 gigabytes in size. That is the old db size limit but now it's 32 terabytes I thought. Has anybody heard of this ? Any ideas?

Apr 21, 2008Hi,
I've been looking over quite a few of the sql server installations at my new job and I have been noticing that most of them are set up to autogrow the data-files by 1MB unlimited and the log-files by 10% unlimited which is the default settings when creating a new database in SSMS. This is regardless of the database size which in some cases are 400+ GB. I've usually set autogrow to a fixed MB value of around 20% of the current size, but autogrowing a 400GB database by 20% will take a considerable amount of time and could be a killer during peak hours. What would you guys recomend...?

Autogrow Question
Oct 1, 2005Hello Folks,Last evening, as a result of our autogrow settings, our productiondatabase grew from 102 GB to 107 GB. What puzzled me is that, prior tothe growth, we still had a good 10% free space left in the data file.My understanding is that SQL Server will automatically grow a databasewhen worker thread decides that more space is necessary to fulfill arequest. We don't suspect the app of sending over a request whichwould require that much more space.Any ideas on why the file grew unexpectedly?Thanks,Joe
View 1 Replies View RelatedAutogrow Of Log File Possibly Cause Timeout?
Jan 30, 2007i had a problem with a server instance where an app processing a file and putting the data into the database using a stored procedure was timing out. the app is a service and in the case of errors, will try to process the file until it has been succesfully added data to the database. in the event viewer i keep seeing this message during this timeout period:
"Autogrow of file 'mydatabase_log' in database 'mydatabase' was cancelled by user or timed out after 15687 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size."
is there a possibility that this process was causing my SP to timeout? are there any other log or debug files that SQL Express creates that might be helpful in discovering what caused the timeout? currently the log is at... ouch 10gigs restricted... maybe trying to autogrow from this while restricted is hogging resources?
Autogrow Of File 'templog' In Database 'tempdb'
Dec 11, 2007I'm currently running the command below and getting this error message. I am getting it every few seconds for a couple hours now. Seems to have started when I started this SPROC below. I'm just over 2 hours into running.
Not sure what this means yet, any help is much appreciated. Desperately trying to resolve this urgent matter!
thanks once again!

Autogrow Of File 'Prod' In Database 'Production' Was Cancelled By The User Or Timed Out
May 27, 2008We are running Microsoft SQL 2005 Express.
All queries on our Production database are timing out. Viewing the error log file the following show up over and over again:
Autogrow of file 'tempdev' in database 'tempdb' was cancelled by user or timed out after 3937 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size.
Autogrow of file 'Prod' in database 'Production' was cancelled by user or timed out after 33156 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size.
Our production database is about 1 gig in size with 3.5 million records. I tried setting the autogrow from 30% which it was before to 100MB, but no luck, still timing out and getting the errors above. Permission should be all good, nothing has changed.
There is about 50gigs of available disk space as well, so that's not the problem. Thanks for the help.
Autogrow Of File 'FORMS' In Database 'FORMS' Cancelled Or Timed Out After 30547 Ms.
Jun 26, 2007Afternoon
I'm getting the below error message:
Autogrow of file 'FORMS' in database 'FORMS' cancelled or timed out after 30547 ms. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH or to set a new size.
FORMS.LDF file is 7613952 KBand the growth is 512MB .
By how much should I set the filegrowth? The users are complaining that the application is freezing on them.
This is sqlserver 2000.

Anyone Using SQL Alerts?
Jun 20, 2008I ignored this nice little feature till now, probably because mail configuration complexities. Now that we have DB mail, it has become very smooth.

SQL Server Alerts
Dec 2, 1999I was wondering if anyone knew of some key error numbers that I should look for to fire alerts off of.
For example, ERROR 926 "Database cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server error log for more information."
I am looking for some key error messages (Error Numbers) like the one above that are good to initially setup within SQL Server for alerting Administrators of potential issues.
Thanks,

New Babie On Alerts
Dec 4, 2002Hi,
I just realized there are several severity alerts on the Server Agent, from Severity 19 to 25.
Is there anyways to delete those messages? If I don't delete those, would it be affected later?
The Online Book mentions those are some of the system error messages, but they don't show how to delete them.
Can anyone helps?
Thanks a lot.
Locks And Alerts
Nov 3, 2005Hi,
I am having trouble with locks and performance issues in one application. The SQL server is specific to this application. What settings should i choose to set an alert to let me know when i get too many locks? the locks i am interested in ar ethe ones that show up in SQL EM. ie where a process is blocking another process(es).
I have tried New Alert | lock requests /sec but that is a huge figure when the server is running OK, so i cant guess what value to set for the counter. Is there a better object/counter i should use?
thanks

Alerts Not Being Triggered
Dec 14, 1998I've setup alerts and an operator to email on a particular event code.
I can successfully test the operator. (It e-mails fine)
The problem I am having is that despite having a particular event
log to the NT application log, no SQL Alert is triggered.
I've tried logging to the NT Application log, as well as the SQL errorlog.
The SQLExecutive is running.
Thanks in advance.

I have the job set to send an email and a net message when the job succeeds. Since this message will be going to the user, I owuld like to be able to make the message as clear as possible for them. Does anyone know if the message being sent can be modified or altered with an alert? And how?

Alerts Not Working
Mar 22, 2004I defined an Alert in Enterprise Manager for Severity 19 - Fatal Error In Resource. The alert is enabled, the type is "sql server event alert" and the alert is defined against a specific database. SQLSERVERAGENT and SQL Mail session are both started. I test the alert using the following statement in the specified database.
raiserror (50001,19,1) with log
A message is placed in the SQL Server log, however no alert is fired. The alert history indicates the alert has never occurred. What am I missing?
Thanks, Dave

Alerts By Email In Clusterd Env.
Aug 9, 2001Does anyone know of a way, either by 3rd party tools or using SQL server, to have alerts get emailed to you in a clustered active/active environment? I work as the DBA at a quickly-growing company, whose production databases need to be online 24X7. I want to set up the alerts to email/page me if there are problems with the databases, but since (according to microsoft) SQL mail is not supported in a clustered environment I'm at a loss.
I'm looking for some help in trying to resolve this issue either by 3rd party means or a SQL Server work around.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tony

Notifications Sent Even If Alerts Are Disabled
Mar 7, 2001Hello all,
Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:
I have several alerts set up and a job setup to notify via email if alerts occur. There are times when I might be doing maintenace on a box that may generate alerts but I don't want to get emailed or paged for these "dummy" alerts. I thought first of setting the enabled column of sysalerts to 0 - that doesn't work. I still get notified. Then I thought I'd set the enabled column in sysjobs for my notification job to 0 while I'm doing the work. But as soon as I re-enable the job I get an alert. It seems that as soon as the job is re-enabled it checks the NT application log and sees that an alert was fired and somehow knows that there was no notification sent so sends one. If I purge the NT application log before re-enabling the job is solves the problem. But that is a very in-ellegant solution and I don't want to loose all the info stored in the event log any way. Does anyone know how SQL SErver aggent keeps track of this stuff? (ie. that an alert was fired but it's response job is disabled and to check once a job is re-enabled to see if any alerts occured while it was disabled?) I did a Profiler trace while re-enabling the job but didn't see anything pertinant in there.
Thanks in advance.

User Alerts, Best Practice
Jun 3, 2004I'm searching for tips on how to alert users regarding downtime of our SQL Server. Is it good enough to alert users by email, and then shut down the service, or do you use a better approach (lock database, sp_who, one-by-one alert...)?

Custom Alerts To Invoke A Job
Aug 19, 2004I want to creat an alert that will back up my database when the log files get to 90% full. When i try to create a new alert and select performance condition and select sqlserver:databases as the object then log file(s) Used size (kb) as the counter but when i go and select the instance i dont see my database in the drop down list but if I change to sql server event alert I see the database i want to use for this alert. I dont want to wait until the log is already full to back it up i want to do it when it hits a percent full. Is there a way to do this as a performance condition? thanks for your help!
View 7 Replies View RelatedSQL Server System Alerts
Feb 27, 2002Maybe a dumb question, the standard alerts like Severity 24 and 25 that come when you install SQL Server, will these alerts be called by SQL Server itself if there is a problem. I was going to set up notifications for these but wasn't sure if it was worth the trouble.

May 8, 2002We are in the process of setting up a SQL Server 2000 cluster, but have been told that MAPI email is not cluster aware so we can't use the alert system.
Has anyone got any idea how to get round this or how to set up alerts in another way (eg: when a backup fails, can we send smtp mail?) etc
any feedback would be appreciated.

Setting Up Alerts For Replication
Aug 15, 2012We have occasional problems with transactional replication between 2 databases, and the problem is we dont notice right away. Usually the customer notices a few days after replication has stopped, and thats no good. We want to be notified as soon as there is any problem related to replication so we can go in and figure it out.
Ive been playing with the alerts, and it LOOKS like I should be able to do what I want, but after several hours I still cannot make any of the alerts work.
In my test environment, I'm forcing the following error, in order to try and test an alert: error 20598 "The row was not found at the Subscriber when applying the replicated command."
This seems to be one of our more common errors, and also its really easy to produce, so it seemed like a good candidate for testing the alert.
First off, I noticed that the agent profile was set to "Continue on data consistancy errors", which ignores error 20598. So I changed the profile to "Default", which doesnt skip any errors.
Next I set up a simple Job that simply writes a string to a file. I tested the job by calling it manually and it works. Once i can prove that this job is actually being called, I will change it to email me and the team.
Then I created a new alert in the publisher database which watches for error code 20598. Its response is to call the job I mentioned above. So when the error occurs, a string should be written to that file.
Then I forced the 20598 error to occur. I deleted a row in the subscriber DB, and then changed the corresponding row in the publisher. This causes the error to occur. In my replication monitor, I see new entries saying "Skipped 1 error(s) when applying transactions at the Subscriber." I'm not sure why it says skipped, but I know that these entries are the 20598 error that I'm trying to produce.
Now, there was nothing written to my text file, and I can see from the job history that my job was never called. If I look at the history of my test alert, it says "never occured".
I forced the 20598 error to occur, and I have an alert that is watching for the 20598 error, but it never fires.
I also created an alert in the subscriber database, watching for the same error. This alert was not called either.
