SQL Server 2008 :: Monitor Database Growth And If Any DB Grown By 20% Send Mail Alerts
Apr 30, 2015
Is there any automated script available to - "Monitor Database Growth and if any DB is grown by 20%, sending mail alerts"? If not, what is the approach to write the T SQL script ?
I need to monitor my database growth, as few of databases are growing rapidly. My client wants the growth list of my databases. have report of database growth of specific databases, at least of one month.
Hi, I have a database, it is growing very fast, and the filegroups associated with that db is also becoming full. Due to this reason our jobs are failing. Then we need to cleanup some space and after that our jobs succeeds. So, I want to have some alerts which say the filegroup may be full in 1 or 2 days. Can I accomplish with less complexity and no overhead to the existing server and its operations.
I have multiple task flows with precedence constraints and i have changed the constraint as completion to execute the package even though there is failure in one of the tasks in the package but every time the send mail success is executed instead of Send mail Failure task.
I need to remove "rows affected" text from results as shown below from posted Sp. I am using set nocount on but its not working as expected.
Create Procedure DailyCheckList As SET NOCOUNT ON Declare @EmailSub varchar(500),@dt varchar(100),@Msg varchar(max),@M varchar(max) set @dt= convert(varchar(20),GETDATE(),107)
I have a package which is creating a excel file 'ExcelName.xls' and storing in 'E:ReportingDelivered_Reports'. Now I have to attach this report using send mail task and send it to given mail id. To achieve this I have configured the send mail task and in Expression Builder, I have selected the below expression:
I need file name should be 'ExcelName_20150601' where suffix is the current date. But I recieve file which name is 'ExcelName', which is the original file name.
This is my first participation in this forum In fact I am trying to prepare myself to earn MCITP and I faced few problems during setting up the following points - SQL Server Database mail - Alerts - Operators
I want to create an internal process to inform me (via email and Net Send) if some errors happened or if some procedures run.
At the beginning I configured the Database Mail then I created new Operator (same name of domain account) and I checked all alert options (email, pager and net send) for this operator.
After that I created a new Alert (Raised based on Error Number) and I selected the created operator to be notified and I checked (email, pager and net send). Right now everything is good and no problem in all above steps for me But when the error raised the notification message shown at the operator screen, But unfortunately nothing was sent to email
Note: I have a website (www.international-systems.net) with SMTP (mail.international-systems.net) And I have created an email for this operation called (SQL_Server@international-systems.net) but nothing sent to the email The configuration of my Database Mail was
Email Address: SQL_Server@international-systems.net Display Name: Essam Binzghayo Replay Email: SQL_Server@international-systems.net Server Name: mail.international-systems.net Port No: 25
Can you help me and try to answer the question What was wrong in my configuration that caused failure sending email?
We have our SQL Server 2005 hosted at a datacenter and have only SS Management Studio access (no term serv, no event log, etc.). Also, our hosting company has disabled the Database Mail feature. We have over 60 jobs running on a minute/hourly/daily basis that are critical for our business. It is super important for us to know if and when a job failed.
Given this scenario, how do you suggest we implement monitoring/notification of failed jobs?
The script is working fine if i manually provided file path to @file_attachments. it is showing error i passes the variable @Loc3 to @file_attachments. Below is the error if i passes the variable to @file_attachments parameter.
(1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) Msg 22051, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 Attachment file 'E:DatabaseTannaFinanceReportDetail_Reimbursement_1_15_Aug2015.csv is invalid.
Hello, The Database Mail feature is already enabled on the server, also I have a mail account on the other server. The problem I faced is that I need to send mail from my SQL Server using a created email account on the other server. How should I configure my email to do that ? Should I use a sysmail_add_account procedure to enable account, also set profile and profile account ? Does this way creates server mail account that is binded with other email account? The mail should be sent from my SQL Server. Thank You.
Script to Reverse Engineer / Script out your EXISTING database mail settings?
I set up a profile to use gMail, and it seems logical for me to export out the settings to a script, then run the script on my laptop, other servers, etc.
There's no built in option, so I figured i'd ping the forum before i do it myself.
There are example scripts where you fill in the blanks, examples how to set up dbmail, but i did not find anything that scripts out existing settings.
I have attempted to report out errors at the end of an ETL process by alerting supporting DBAs of errors using the SSIS "Send Mail Task". Task completes along with the sequenced packages, but does not mail anything out. No logic at this time for trigger, just success from the previous task triggering the task to send mail. I also get no errors in the output, and I get no output indicating the send mail task fired, but it does go "green". Do I have to enable database mail and have privileges?

I'm having trouble in configuring Yahoo's SMTP for Database Mail. Here is my current settings:
Email Address: xxx@yahoo.com Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port Number: 465 This server requires a secure connection (SSL) - check Basic Authentication Username: xxx@yahoo.com Password: xxx
When I tried sending a test email, it didn't work. But when I changed my SMTP to use Gmail, it worked!
Once our company encoutered database disk full issue, so we cannot insert any more data. So is there way I can monitor the data file size? or is there a monitor tool to sending out alert?
for example, It can show me how many percentage of data file has been used e.g. 90%. so I know it's critical and I need to increase more space for database or disk drive.
I have a job that emails out shipment notifications at the end of the day to our customers. The problem I have is I don't understand why the same email is sending out twice within a minute of each other when the job is only scheduled to run once. If I take the code out of the step and run it in management studio it only emails once. I attached the code for one customer for reference. We are running SQL 2008 on a VM sending to an exchange 2010 server.
DECLARE @tableHTML NVARCHAR(MAX) ; SET @tableHTML =N'<H1>XYZ Company ASN For ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) + ' </H1>' + N'<table border="1">' + N'<tr><th>Vendor</th><th>Delivery Date</th>' + N'<th>Purchase Order Number</th><th>Item Number</th><th>Item Description</th>' + N'<th>Quantity Shipped</th><th>UOM</th><th>BOL Number</th>'
Here's the scoop, and I've seen several posts to this effect but none of the solutions have worked. Enabled database mail. confirmed profiles and can send test database mail from Query Window. I can also right click Database mail and send test emails. Configured valid operator using same email address for the test emails above. Enabled database mail profile under SQL Agent properties > Alert System.
From what I've seen, the test button is supposed to be greyed out, and it is. However alerts do not send emails operator.
i've got a brand new server and just installed SQL 2005.
when i try to send a test email, i get the following error message:
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 5 (2006-11-23T11:49:34). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it). )
I have checked all items from troubleshoot and eveything is ok...any help ?
I received alerts from a couple of the production servers last night stating that the log file is running out of space. So, I took some log backups and shrunk those files. However, I would like to find out what made the log grow like that. After all, I have t-log backups scheduled every 30 minutes.Is there a way I can find out the reason behind the log growth?
I have inherited a server on which is a maintenance plan with two subplans on different schedules. In each subplan there are Execute T-SQL tasks with scripts for index rebuilds. Each task is set up with a Completion arrow to the next task and a Failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task. I was asked to add a task for index rebuilds to a specific subplan for a specific database, which is what the other tasks also do. I discovered that my task was failing but the others were fine. No notification was sent about my task failing even though the job is marked in MSDB as a failed job. I have sent a test email using the "Send Test Email..." option when right clicking Database Mail in SSMSand I receive an email so I know Database Mail works.
I set up a test job to model the index job that I can't get notifications from. I have two T-SQL tasks that just select the top row from a small table. The first task has a syntax error that I did so it would fail. I have a failure arrow to a Notify Operator Task and a Completion arrow to another T-SQL task with no syntax error which has a Success arrow to a Notify Operator task. As expected, when I execute this job I receive one failure email and one success email.
The only other troubleshooting step I know to try is to add a Notify Operator task before my failing task. That Notify Operator task will hopefully fire to tell me that the previous step was successful. I am not having problems with the other steps so I was just thinking I would try to get the subplan to send me a success email about one of the steps that has been working fine.
I have two domains. forest domain abc which has the exchange infrastructure. forest domain xyz which does not have exchange. There is a two way trust set up.
I have set up database mail which sends internally but not externally on the xyz domain its uses mailrelay address to comunicate with exchange. The receive connector is set up correctly on exchange on domain abc as I have managed to send email from a sql server to external contact in the abc domain.
The IP addresses are correct on the receive connector.
The problem is I am unable to send to an external contact from the sql server in the xyz domain. Not sure if this an exchange issue or database mail.
I have been using database mail for quite a few years now. I started using it with SQL Server 2005 and then it worked fine. Then we went over to SQL 2012 and the problems started. At first I could not get any e-mails out and read a post by Microsoft that a patch needs to come out but not available yet. That was in 2012. Presumably the patch came out with windows updates and my DB Mail started working. Now, however, I have the problem that some e-mails do get sent but the majority failed.
I use this so that whenever a user captures certain data to update a person's status on the database then an automatic e-mail will be sent to that person to inform them of their status at this company.
I am getting the error The transaction log for database 'ReplicationDB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.log_reuse_wait_desc from sys.databases is showing logbackup
The database is subscribed database. We configured transactional replication. But the transactional replication is getting errors and failed. Is there relation b/n this replication failures and log growth in subscriber db?
Any good starting point to understand for a specific db, how many max VLFs are good to have so that it does not cause long startup or backup times?
Also, I need some calculation so that I can identify a best growth parameter I will setup for each database ?
I'm seeing the below msg in errorlog and curious to know the changes (right sizing/growth) to be done? As of now 100 MB of log file growth value is set (refer: [URL] ....)
Database BizTalkMsgBoxDb has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to reduce the number of virtual log files.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good resource that will help us set up our system so that notifications from alerts/jobs send emails to our Groupwise email system?
