SQL Server 2008 :: Custom Alert Is Not Emailing Operator?
Apr 8, 2015
I am trying to create an alert when there are more than 2500 connections to our ailing SQL Server.However, for now, I need to restart the SQL server service because users begin complaining they can't connect.
1) I created an operator - me.
2) I created a job which runs a query.
INSERT INTO Sessions_alert
SELECT host_name, program_name, login_name, count(c.session_id ) num_sessions, getdate()
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections c JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions s on c.session_id = s.session_id
GROUP BY host_name,program_name,login_name ORDER BY 4 DESC
3) I created an alert - included the job from above. Type performance condition alert. Object - SQL Server General Statistics. Counter - User connections.Alert if counter rises above 50. Just testing. I really want to know when it gets past 2500.
4) I've set the alert to email and delay is between responses 2 minutes.
It history tables says number of occurences is 18964. However, I don't receive an email.
Shouldn't the alert send an email? Do I need to include email code in the job?
I have a simple SSIS package that imports an Excel Spreadsheet into a table. The column heading got changed, so the package failed, as expected, but I would like an alert or some way to make the scheduled job show "failed". I tried putting an event handler on the :Data Flow" step to send an email, but it didn't work.
I would like to figure out the event handler problem, but more important to have the job show as failed.
For some reason the Scheduled job shows "success" even though the SSIS package failed. A better solution is to make the scheduled job itself fail, based on the package failing.
how to use like operator select statement to retrieve multiple column names in sql server DB...for ex: I have a table say employees where in I want to get all column names like emp_,acc_ etc using '%' And what is this below query used for?
SELECT column_name as 'Column Name', data_type as 'Data Type', character_maximum_length as 'Max Length' FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'tblUsers'
I've been working with Database Mail for some time but I haven't seen this one before. I have a maintenance plan that does the following:
1. Check database integrity On Success: 2. Perform backups On Success: 3. Perform a maintenance cleanup On Success: 4. Notify operator of success
Steps 1 - 3 are also linked (via On Failure arrows) to a singular Notify Operator of Failure task.
The maintenance plan does exactly what I want it to, and if everything goes correctly, it successfully sends an email to an operator.
If steps 1 - 3 fail, the job ends in an error state, but does not trigger the Notify Operator of Failure task.
I was able to recreate the problem by creating another maintenance plan on the same instance with the same steps. Its "Notify Operator" on failure task also doesn't work.
It occurs to me that maybe I'm missing something, so here's some of the details of my SQL server:
SQL 2008 + SP1 (10.0.2531) x64 on Windows 2008 R2 DB Mail profile is public and default
I do have a slightly unusual profile, in that it uses two accounts:
1. A connection to a SharePoint SMTP service (where it catches emails directed at document libraries)
2. A connection to a UNIX-based smtp server (which routes mail to regular mailboxes and my SQL DBA mailing list)
The Profile will attempt to send to the SharePoint server first. The SharePoint server does not relay. If the document library email address doesn't exist, SQL will raise a warning (in the Database Mail log) and the profile will use the second account on the list, which is a real mail server and can relay the message to any mailbox.
It works really well, actually. When the maintenance plan completes successfully, the message is sent to the drop folder on the SharePoint server, and SharePoint routes the email to the correct library, and we have a central archive of all DB Mail notifications.
But if the job fails (for example, if the backup disk is out of space), none of this happens. According to the log, the job doesn't even try to send a notification. Looking at the DBMail log, the Mail service does not start. No email is delivered to the drop folder of the receiving SMTP server. So I don't think my Database Mail configuration is the problem here. It is apparently something to do with the way the job itself handles errors.
It might be an old question but wanted to see, if we have any latest techniques (other than bcp).
SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM MyTable
If I want to export the output of the above query to a csv on a network folder? I would like to avoid usage of SSIS package or BCP (as user needs to get additional rights to execute bcp).
I have a balance sheet report developed and working. What I need to do is add the ability to click (or double-click) on a number and have a separate report (drill-down) open with the detail that makes up that number. I've researched drill-through reports, sub reports, etc. but can't find a way to do what I want.
I'm now thinking that I need to add custom code in the report properties, code window to do this. I'm hoping that there is a VB method I can use to call this report and pass a parameter. Pseudo-code for this function would look something like this: RunReport("DrillDownReport", "Parameter").
This seems like it should be pretty easy but I don't know what the function is in VB for running an SSRS report (if there is one).
Is this possible or am I barking up the wrong code tree?
I am running SQL Server Enterprise Manager and i would like to have a query run everynite and send the results returned by the query off to an email address....
I have a custom assembly that I'm trying to use with my resport in Reporting Services in SQL Server 2008. I keep consistently getting a "Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data,Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed" error. Even in preview mode.
- I added <Assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()> attribute to the assembly - I'm asserting the permission in the routine that is doing the database call with the follwing lines: Dim permission As SqlClient.SqlClientPermission = New SqlClient.SqlClientPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted) permission.Assert() - I went in .net 2.0 Framework configuration and made the assembly fully trusted - I added the approprtiate codegroup to the rssrvpolicy.config file - I tried the same assembly on another PC running SQL server reporting services 2005, its working just fine.
I would like to set up a job to send mail out to clients on a semi-regular basis. Is there a way to mail directly from MS SQL.
or some application which I can set to interface with MS SQL and send these mails out.
I'm currently using asp.net, however, doing it through the web is very time consuming, I would much rather use some application to generate the mails on the server as it currently takes close to 20 min to send through the web interface (and that's only to 900 members, we are looking at having at least 2000 members in a few weeks). What am I looking for is something I can call perhaps with transact sql so I can run it through an ms sql server job, however any solution you have would be fantastic.
If you don't have specific details, that's fine, I'm not even sure what apps etc to look into, even a name of some technology to use (or does MS SQL have a way of doing all of this itself?)
Can you use the below query to get CPU high utilisation alert purposes for both named and default instance? or, do I need to make any changes here (@wmi_namespace=N'.ROOTCIMV2' ) ?
USE [msdb] GO EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name=N'CPU_WM_Utilization_Check', @message_id=0, @severity=0,
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid". In the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I have already created within this UI, and not the actual component object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
Hi everyone I have a database that I am creating for another department. He emails applications to potential vendors. And I was wanting sql to do this for him. I was reading about xtended procedures XP_Sendmail, but this is the first time I have created an extended stored procedure. I need for it to email an attachment (the report)
I have a DTS package that runs 4x a day and generates an excel spreadsheet, renames that spreadsheet with a datetime stamp and then places it into a folder on our network. I have been asked to email that spreadsheet to someone everytime the package runs.
My question is what would be the best way to handle this and how do I ensure that whatever process I define grabs the correct file? The folder that the Excel file is being placed into has multiple files in it. Is there a way to tell SQL Server which file to grab and email?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I'm sort of new to SSIS so I apologize if this is a trivial question:
I setup a package and want it to email me if there is any errors. Right now I got it working to send me a pre-written message about the failure, but I want to load the full task failure message into variable and email it on the email body.
But so far I have not found a way to save the error messages into variables so I can email them. Anyone can help with that one?
I need to export a view into excel and mail to my manager daily morning. Is there a way i can automate this process. I know how to convert view to excel but i need a better solution to automate this process with emailing to my mgr. Please suggest a better approach of doing this.
I have a server where I have been getting "SQL Alert Sev 24 : Fatal Error : Hardware Failure" for the past week.
Occurence : We disconnected the workstation (which we are using as SQL Server) from one floor and connected it to another floor. No Configurations changed. No hardware failures reported so far on the win 2000 box.
We are very well able to do the SQL development on that box. Everything seems normal except I get this error sent atleast once a day in the morning.

We are trying to create some alerts in our SQL Server 2014 BI edition.Issue is that, after I chose "Type" as "SQL Server performance condition alert" nothing is listed in the "Object" list box.SQL Server event alerts are working. Issue is only with "SQL Server performance condition alert".
We recently had a problem with DB Mail. SQL jobs that sends an email succeeded but the email in the job fail to sent. There was a problem with the email server. The error is included. We fixed the problem with the email server. How can I get an alert when a DB Mail email fails send?

Whenever a certain stored procedure executes I need to email both admin and clients (different messages). I have created an error within the SP and can RAISE the error and thus notify admin staff but how can i email the client also ? I can obtain the cient email address from thye system but how can i email them ? Can i use xp_sendmail within a stored procedure ? If so, how as i can't seem to get it working ?
Hi there! Is there a way, I can setup create a script that I can schedule, which runs through my user databases and if e.g.: 1:) there is less than 20% free space it emails me. and/or 2:) there is less than 200MB free space it emails me.
How do I configure the database so that it will send an alert to all users who are logged in and using SQL*Server, when I need them all to get out of the database ??? Or, what do I need to look up in the documentation ??? I have looked under SQL*Mail, but that doesn't look like it will work for what I am trying to do. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nancy
It seems that in order to get an email alert from SQL Server 2000 I need Microsoft Outlook orMicrosoft Exchange client installed. Is there any other way to get an email alert (not net send) when a back up is finished? for example using a @hotmail.com account?
I am trying to use €œSQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio€? (what is the short name for this) to complete a check and then possibly email me depending on what happens.
The check is around two tables that I have. There is a chance that they will become out of sync with each other and so I want to know when a field (ACCOUNTID) has a value that is in one table and not the other. I can do the check but I would like the package to email me when there is a problem (and if possible email me the details) and do nothing when everything is OK.
Can anybody give me some hints to point me in the correct direction as I just seem to be chasing my tail at the moment,
I have many short messages in a table. I need to tigh them together in one long email message and email to the users. But xp_sendmail is limited to 7,790. How could I send longer messages? Or how could I devide the long message and send it in parts (i.e. separate consequtive emails)?
This doesn't work, it still cuts the messages off at around 7,790: E. Send messages longer than 7,990 characters
This example shows how to send a message longer than 7,990 characters. Because message is limited to the length of a varchar (less row overhead, as are all stored procedure parameters), this example writes the long message into a global temporary table consisting of a single text column. The contents of this temporary table are then sent in mail using the @query parameter. CREATE TABLE ##texttab (c1 text) INSERT ##texttab values ('Put your long message here.') DECLARE @cmd varchar(56) SET @cmd = 'SELECT c1 FROM ##texttab' EXEC master.dbo.xp_sendmail 'robertk', @query = @cmd, @no_header= 'TRUE' DROP TABLE ##texttab
I need to create a new excel file daily and then need to mail it. The problem iam facing is that ,when i schedule a job the task that dumps data into excel(Dataflow task ) gives a validation error.Everytime i need to manually link the sheets of the excel to the corresponding tables. Any idea why this is happening?So iam unable to schedule as a job...
I'm hoping someone here will be able to guide me in the right direction. I am trying to figure out a way of looping through table columns or a flat file in which there will be three parameters every time. With these parameters I am then wanting to run a report using two of these parameters to feed into the report and then email this out to an email address which would be my third parameter. Does anyone here have any idea how I would go about doing this?
