Hi Gurus,
I have a database server running on a sql server 7.0. Some external app is accessing this db server, reading and updating some tables. For some reason, some updating actions didn't work. I just want to track those updating actions, and see if there're some logs reporting failure reason. Is there some tool in sql server 7.0 that could help me do that? Thank you.
I have to make server trigger to monitor the actitites if sysadmin members. i need to get the login name,hostname and query which they are running.

1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.
can any one tell me what are the sql server dba activities?
i'm a junnior dba in hyderabad, my organization is product based company.
i need the general activities, so that i can become master in atleast some aspects.
generally what is the expectations of big organizations from DBA's? especially i'm plannning for H1.
Today when I opened current activity window on my SQL6.5 server, I could not able to see any activities listed. What will be the problem?
But sp_who works fine.

Someone had changed the SA password on one of my servers. I need to find out who did this. Can you tell me if there is any historical information kept on any of the system tables that can tell me who (what machine name) and when (date and time)this was done?
Does anyone have a 3rd party or inhouse developed task/procedure to report this kind of security issues?

We are having blocking issues on our server. Recently, I noticed that we no longer have any thing under Current Activity. When I click the plus sign beside it, it shows no items - that is, no process info, locks/process ID, or the locks/object. Does anybody know why and how I can reset it?? Thanks for your help.

Sybase and DB2 both have the capability of tracking user activities ata number of levels: invalid access attempts to databases, table, etc.;creation/deletion/modification of database objects/users/groups,grants/revokes.For MS SQLServer, the only setting that I've seen in the documentationis access attempts (none, fail only, etc.)The monitor program has the capability of tracking the events that Iwant to be monitored, but it seems as though these settings persistonly while the monitor program is running.I'd like these settings to persist permanently and the event records tobe sent to the system log.I can't seem to find the right term to get this information out of theMS Books On LIne.Help!
View 5 Replies View RelatedAm I able to do this in SS Express -like a backup or something or do I need to purhcase a SQL Server Agent (I believe I saw a 3rd party company always advertising this in SQL Server Central.com). It's cheap -- just curious if I really need it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy data is in the following form:
CREATE TABLE Temp (ORG_NAME VARCHAR(20), START_TIME datetime, END_TIME datetime)
INSERT INTO Temp VALUES('Org Name', '2014-06-20 14:25:00.000', '2014-06-20 15:25:00.000') - AND many more like these with different START_TIME and END_TIME.
The Task:
- I need to calculate the duration of the activities PER HOUR.
i.e. in the example above, if I want to see the productivity for 2PM (i.e. activity duration from 2-3PM), I should only get 35 mins (as the activity started at 14:25). In the same way, if I see the productivity for 3PM (i.e activity duration from 3-4 PM), I should only see 25 minutes (as activity ended at 15:25).
There would technically be many activities with overlapping times - for example, there might be 5 activities starting at 14:30 and ending at 15:10. In this case, if I were to see the productivity for 2PM, I'd see 150 minutes (as each activity starts at 14:30, so 30 min per activity = 150 min). In the same way, if I saw the productivity for 3PM for those 5 activities, I'd see 50 minutes.
Is there a way for me to set up CDC so that all the processing (SQL Agent, etc) happens on the machine receiving the data? I'd like to move as much of the processing as possible to the destination.

Hello,
I do all my monitoring locally for disk space, locks, blocking, I've 10 production servers, We need to centralised the monitoring server so from one server all the monitors can be done. Does anyone has any ideas how memory, cpus consumption, disk space, all alerts, locks, blocking, log space and job completition monitoring can be handled.
Any idea or guidance is appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
How do most of you monitor your SQL servers (i.e. performance, cpu utilization, job failures...)? Can you recommend any tools that are not too costly?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I'm very new with SQL Server. My company just purchased a dedicated server and we installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The operating system is Windows Server 2003.
We have only 8 databases in that machine and there is this 1 particular database that keeps getting error. I know that the database is in error if I go to the Management Studio Express and I expand the database, that particular database has no [+] expand symbol and if I try to view the properties it will say "out of memory error" or something like that.
How can I find out what is causing this error? That database has is 18MB and is not used frequently. The error usually appears once every month.
How to debug this issue?
thanks in advance
We've got a growing database server that is quickly getting more active. I wanted to find out how folks monitor their SQL Server 2005 instances? What tools have worked for you? What guidelines have you followed?
In particular, I want to be able to establish which database is driving the most activity, and diagnose which calls or statements are causing the most resource usage. On a bigger picture I want to understand how others are approaching monitoring in general with regards to SQL Server 2005.
Thanks!

I want to use System Monitor to moniter the performance of SQL Server.My SQL DBA book tells me how to add counters to system monitor.But the book shows a Performance Object called SQLServer:Databases.This isn't appearing in the list of Performance Objects on my computer.How do I get the SQLServer objects to show in the Add Counters dialog?

However, the collector does not seem to work. Although the collecting set is shown as running, the The blg file stays at 64K. If I open it, there is nothing inside (no counter at the bottom). What did I miss?
Hi SQL lovers!
I'm trying to set up Performance Monitor to watch my SQL Servers. There should be an SQL object in the drop down list in the 'Add To Chart' dialogue box in PerfMon. But not for me! What am i missing here?
I've started the saved Performance Monitor file you get with SQL Server and i can see the 5 already added objects (buffer cache etc..) but when i go to add more, there is no SQL Server object - strange!?
Can anyone help?
Immense thanks,

We have SQL Server 7.0 running on a NT 4 sp6 server and non of its items track in performance monitor. Under the SQL program tab, when performance monitor is clicked, it comes up and has items for SQL, but they all track as zero. You can "add" other items such as processor items and they track fine. Any ideas???
Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing problems gathering Stats from Performance Monitor on SQL Server. I am running NT4 with SP5 applied, with SQL Server 7.00.699 . My problem is that I can use the "Performance Monitor" under the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 sub-menu (Start Menu) to monitor the SQL Server Stats on my machine, but I am unable to monitor any of the servers in our enterprise. Performance Monitor does not even list the SQL Server Object. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn some of my database servers, there are SQL Server counters in Performance Monitor. On other servers these are not present. How can I turn these on?
I know with the disc counters you need to explicitly enable them:
diskperf -yv
Is there a parallel for SQL Server? I don't remember doing anything to get them working on the servers that have them. All online articles seem to assume that they just exist.
TIA!
I've always assumed SQL Server performance monitor counters get automatically installed when SQL Server is installed. I recently installed SQL Server on a remote server and noticed the SQL Server performance monitor counters do not appear in Perfmon. Aren't these counters automatically installed during setup?

I'm hoping that someone has experienced this problem before and knows how to get round it.
The problem we are having is that we have a job that is scheduled to run at 4:00 am each morning, for the past 6 weeks it has done this with no problem. However, this morning it failed. we know it failed because it didn't produce the results it was supposed to. However the monitor said that the job had completed successfully. On examining the history of the job we found that the job was still running!!! When we tried to stop the job by right clicking and selecting the appropriate action. The action available to us was to start the job.
After arguing for a bit we decided to try and run the job again. We did this and found that the job running in the history screen terminated with an error and than ran and completed successfully.
Confused? So are we any ideas or solutions gratefully received
I have 4 sql 2000 servers. One is a the primary, one is a local stand-by, one a remote standby and one is a training server. WHen configuring which server should monitor log shipping I was torn between the local standby and the training. The training server which only has a few users if ever, might be used for some DTS tasks in the future for some B to B stuff. Based upon this I am leaning on the local standby to monitor. Anyone have an experience or input?
Thanks!
(No I can't buy any more servers)
Hi
I have a curious problem. I have a development environment SQL Server 6.5 sp 5a and a production environment sp 4
When I view the performance monitor in the development environment I can see the SQL Server object counter but on the production environment I can see all object except sql server objects.
What could the problem be ? Add chart on the production server shows me all ojects other that SQL Server and the same is not true for development !
Hi,
I logged some of the parameters of my SQL server using the Performance monitor into a log file - smn5.log & the log settings in smn5.pml. I started the log and the log file (smn5.log) started growing in size indicating that it was collecting data.
I then went to Options button and said Save. After this in the File menu, I selected Export Log and saved it in a .CSV file, expecting it to contain the Logged data. However, it contains only the Log settings as shown below :
--------------------------------
Reported on L&T1362
Log File C:MSSQLLOGsmn5
Interval: 15.000 seconds
Object,Computer
SQLServer-Log,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer-Procedure Cache,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer-Locks,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer,ERMINTRUDE
SQLServer-Log,FLORENCE
SQLServer-Procedure Cache,FLORENCE
SQLServer-Locks,FLORENCE
SQLServer,FLORENCE
---------------------------------
Could some one please tell me how to gather and view the logged information ? smn5.log contains 10MB of data - the perf. monitor shows that.
Thanks
