Monitor I/o, Cpu Etc. Without Traces
Aug 21, 2006
Any suggestions on how I can monitor the following without using traces? I am a dba/developer working as a developer on a contract, and I'm supposed to be tuning. However, I can't run traces. I've got my own procs that monitor locking, etc. But I would like to get at least i/o and cpu throughout the day. It would also be nice to get the query executed. Basically, the type of stuff you'd normally use traces for.
I know about @@cpu, @@io etc., but these are basically useless (no?) since they only record since the server was started. There is a stored proc but it only monitors these things since the last time it was run.
Does anyone know how I could utilize the above? I tried to write a script but I couldn't get it to work. :(
I realize that in general this is a ridiculous request, but I thought I would ask anyway.

If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
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.

This one has stumped me. Hopefully somebody can help.
A while ago, I setup a trace that posted the log to the desktop. I needed to stop the trace this morning, so I went into the profiler and deleted the traces. There was a private and shared trace. Now every time I start up something that has to do with sql server, the log pops up on the desktop. I'm not sure why the trace wasn't deleted or stopped. The trace includes what program accessed sql. Whether it is EM or Query analyzer or ISQL. It gets posted in the log. Any suggestions? I need to remove this because the log fills up the drive and causes the server to crash.
Thanks

Can you run 6.5 traces through the SQL 7.0 profiler. If so, I am getting a login error. I do have the same db name, login, and perms.

Hey guys,
I need some help knowing what to look for in Profiler to troubleshoot an issue.
I've got an application that accesses a SQL Server database that has suddenly started timing out when users launch and attempt to log in, and I'm trying to find out where and why the application might be timing out (whether it's a server issue, a stored procedure or SQL query from the application that could be optimized, a table that could be truncated or archived, etc.). All I have to work with from troubleshooting the database side are a series of trace files from Profiler that were run for a total of about 5 minutes while the application was launched and then timed out. Of course, there are a whole lot of statements being issued, hundreds of tables being accessed, lots of stored procedures and even more ad-hoc queries coming straight from application source code.
So my question is, what do I need to look for in these trace files that might be a red flag to an issue? I'm no DBA, but I know that really long durations might be a tip-off. I'm only seeing these on the occasional Event:Audit Logout (which I read in another thread could potentially be very normal). Anything else that I might want to filter for?
I appreciate any help!
Mandy

I want to use ShowPlanXML in my traces. Information witch is given by this event is quite interesting but I dunno how to bound it with other events. For example I have SqlBatchComplete event and want to get XML plan of it but I have no idea how to do it.

Hi
I have a procedure in a history database that does insert into 3 tables inside a transaction. users complaint that the proc sometimes takes too long during heavy usage. I did some traces to see what is taking up the time, I found that the rpc duration was averaging > 500 ms (should only take 50ms). I checked to see if one of that statements were taking too much time, but only see the commit transaction statement taking around 500 ms). I check the avg disk queue to be around 30. ( this is on a single local disk) .
So is this definitely a disk issue, or is there something else I need to check
thanks

I am debating whether to go to all the trouble of setting up on-demand Profiler traces on some test servers for the developers here. Really just tracing RPC:Completed and SQL:BatchCompleted, so the developers can at least try to catch a performance problem before going to production. The question I have, though, is just how useful is this sort of information to mid- to low-level (i.e. experience) developers. One of the bigger concerns is over Java applications, which like to hide their queries behind a lot of "sp_cursorfetch" calls.
My question to the forum is if you are a developer, have you ever dreamed of having this sort of information available? How useful is it?
I am going to try to post a poll along with this, but I am not sure it will work..

When I restart the server that hosts the database engine SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP4, the trace gets up mytrace-5.trc with a size of 100 MB and id is 2, leaving the hard disk space, then the SQL Server stops execution of the trace due to lack of space. I do not know how to erase the trace, because I do not know where is it.
The archive log looks like : SQL Trace ID 2 was started by login "sa"
Trace ID '2' was stopped because of an error. Cause: 0x80070070(There is not enough space on the disk.). Restart the trace after correcting the problem.
I only know how delete a trace, knowing id.
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus 2, 0
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus 2, 2
Which configuration file I can disable all SQL Server traces. If I run select * from sys.traces, I just get the default trace:
id = 1
status = 1
path= D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGlog_32736.trc
max_size = 20
stop_time = NULL
max_files = 5
is_rowset = 0
is_rollover = 1
is_shutdown = 0
[code]....

We are planning to convert or change all existing Traces to Extended Events in SQL server 2012. What is the procedure to convert custom traces. We have already created some below custom traces: like this we are planning to convert for all servers.
exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, 20, 23, @on
exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, 20, 8, @on
exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, 20, 12, @on
exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, 20, 64, @on
exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, 20, 1, @on
exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, 20, 21, @on
[code]...

Hullo. I have a SQL SCHEDULER Job that keeps hanging.
1) How do I monitor this? I would like to have another Sql Job monitor the first one hourly, and send me an email if it is hanging. Isn't there a system table that tells me a job status?
1a) Once I find the job, how can I "Stop it" automatically?
2) Is there a way to have the Job stop itself it it runs for more than 20 minutes?
Thanks.

Until this week, I had full functionality of SQL Monitor`s capabilities to monitor SQL Server. Now, when I select our Production Server and attempt to `Add to Chart` I am unable to view/select any SQL Server... entries in the `Object` dropdown list box. When I click the down arrow with the Development server selected I DO see all of the SQL Server selections. This inability to `see` the SQL Server functions in the Performance Monitor for the Production server exists regardless of whether I attempt to view them from a Win NT 4.0 Workstation or at the Server`s console. Again, I had full functionality from both locations last week. The logins have not changed. What has changed?
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. I need to monitor this system and I`m running blind at the monent.
TIA

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.

I have discovered that there is an extended procedure called xp_fixeddrives, which can check how much space you have on your SQL Server's drives, it works fine. Can some one tell me what can I use to monitor the above (space used on drive) on servers that do not have SQL at all. Remember I want to call that from my SQL NOT from VB

Is there anyway that you can automate performance monitor from the cmd line. I.e feed it some parameters like server and counters and receive a log file at the end.

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
