I want to monitor updates on a certain table using an alert. When the table gets updated (any update), the alert will trigger a job.
Btw, I'm not allowed to add a trigger on the table, hence my idea to use an alert. Somehow I think I should use a WMI event alert, but I'm not sure which server event I should choose. In fact I'm not even sure I shóuld use a WMI event alert.
Recently we migrated our environment to 2012.
We are planning to implement Xevents in all the servers in place of Trace files and everything is working fine.
Is it possible to configure Extended event to trigger a mail whenever any event (example dead lock) occurs.
I have gone through so many websites but i never find.
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date 10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM
Log SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM)
Source spid
Message
Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).
Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file.
The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30
WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile'
AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message.
However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?

Hi all,
Can we get the event properties by using a query?
Are there any extended stored procuder to get the above?
Scenario:
>Desktop>Right Click on My Computer
>Go to Manage and click
>Expand System Tools
>Expand Event Viewer
>Application
click on one event.We can get the log info which is the manual procudure.
But now i want to get the event properties through the Query analyzer...
Any help would be great?
Thanks,
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,
[code]....
We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!

Folks, i want an alert to be displayed by SQL when the processor shoots above 80% constantly for 30 seconds. Is there any perfomance counter alert sepcifically for this purpose?
Howdy!
Hi there
I've created the new alert by going to use the following stored procedure:
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert @name=N'Severity
19 Error',
@message_id=0,
@severity=19,
@enabled=1,
@delay_between_responses=180,
@include_event_description_in=7,
@category_name=N'[Uncategorized]',
@job_id=N'00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
GO
But the result has a strange characters between 'Severity' and '19 Error' in sysalerts column. So I can't even drop this by using sp_delete_alert.
My question is how to access and modify the sysalerts system table cause I don't think you can access system table anymore?
BTW ... I am using the 90.00.3042 (Sp2).
Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have set up an alert to detect when Page Deadlocks rise above 0. Overnight I have DTS packages populating SQL Server and various other jobs (Cognos Cube Builds etc.). My alert detected a Deadlock during the night but all of my processes completed fine. My problem/misunderstanding is that my alert is still popping up every 5 mins saying there is a Deadlock yet there is nothing running or no-one accessing SQL server and I cannot see any trace of the Deadlock in the Current Activity. Is this normal or is it a bug?

Currently, my client is allowing all the developers to log in as sa and most servers have a NULL sa password. Not a good idea. I am recommending them to move to integrated security with NT groups and to move away from using the sa login altogether. Then to secure the sa login, actually give it a password (something cryptic). I also wanted to set up an alert whenever someone logs in using the sa password. How can that be accomplished? A trigger on the sysprocesses table would work but seems a little risky.

I've created an alert that is raised when the Percent Log Used rises above 80%. The response to this alert starts a job that performs a log backup.
Sometimes the database server is pretty loaded and the log backup takes some minutes and the alert is raised 3 (or more) times before the log backup ends. In response to this alert, plus 3 backups are performed.
Is it possible to make the alert sleep while the log backup is running, to avoid those extra backups?
I thought about disabling the alert in the first step (and re enabling it as the last step) but if the job fails the alert wouldn't be enabled... Right?
Thanks!

I am trying to setup an alert when the following message occurs:
Stored function 'isxpf_execsql' in the library 'c:issrvinisxpf.dll' generated an access violation.

The Alert is defined as:

This has occured sinde the alert was setup and the history of the alert says it has occured 0 times.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I have encountered the following message while checking the Event Viewer of Administrative Tools (Common) :

The data portion of event 19020 from MSSQL Server is invalid.
Is this serious or can I ignore it?
Anyone know what steps I should take?
Any advice will be much appreciated.
I am setting up alerts on a new installation of SQL 2000 (on windows 2000 op-sys). I have set up the operator for email and paging. When I test the email and paging notification at the operator level, it works fine. I have set up an alert for a user defined message to page and email the operator if the error is raised. The error writes successfully to the SQL Server log however, the page and email do not work. I have similar alerts set up on several SQL 7.0 installations. What am I missing? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
We have encountered a major SQLServer 2000 bug. I would like to find out whether anyone has seen this or whether there are work around. We are using SQLServer 2000 Standard Edition running on Windows 2000 Server.
Here is the problem. We have a main SP that calls several long SPs (1000+ lines in each SP) to migrate data from one SQL2000 server to another SQL2000 server. (Both database servers are within the same PC.) The bug occurs in the main SP. It skips a specific SQL statement (which is a call to a SP). There is nothing unique about this SQL statement because the same statement in other parts of the same SP works. This bug occurs consistently. We were able to trace it by putting PRINT statements around this SQL statement and inside the calling SP. We also tried to trace it using the Query Analyzer's Debug with a strange behavior. It seems like the Debugger has a line shifted in it's memory (lines are displayed fine.) This shift occurs a few statements before the Problematic Line. We observe this by trying to put a break point on a valid SQL statement. But the red dot actually shows on a comment line right after the intended line. It does not Step Into the Problematic Line (which is a call to a SP). Note that when we run small SPs, this behavior
does not show up. Everything works fine for small SPs.
Any help is appreciated.

I am working with alerts and trying to see if there is a way that I can control the message on the notification. 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?
Thanks!!

Hi guys,
Hope you are all well.
I am trying to set up a 'SQL Server event alert' that will 'net send' a warning message to one of the Operators that have been set-up on our SQL Server.
The alert has been configured to act on severity level '009 - User Defined', for all databases.
I have created a user defined system message with a severity level '9' on the sysmessages table.
EXEC sp_addmessage 80000, 9, 'My User Defined Message'
...and I have raised this error on our SQL Server.
RAISERROR(80000, 9, 1) WITH LOG
The error message is being generated in the SQL Server Log file, but for some reason my Alert does not appear to fire off the 'net send' event.
The operator is 'available to receive notifications', and I have tested the 'net send' command successfully.
Does anyone know why this Alert might not be sending a message with the 'net send' command?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
Hi folks! I have an alert that fires on error 208(Invalid object name '%.*ls'.)
Can i customize it to get some thing like in the Net-Send command:
(invalid object name '%.*ls'. executed by %user from %computername)
What my concern here is to customize the messages. The description option in the alert allows only static info to be added.
Howdy!

I'm getting an intermittent alert on SQL 7.0. This alert is firing on a severity 24 hardware error.
This has now happened twice and both times I have looked at both the SQL error logs and the
SQL Server event viewer. There are no references to the severity 24 errors in either the SQL error logs or
the event viewer. What could cause this alert and why isn't it being logged properly?

I am currently having problems with a SQL server running out of connections. Setting the number of connections to unlimited is not an option. The connections that are established are from other applications and asp pages that should disconnect but dont. I have setup an alert to send me a message everytime the maximum number of connections is met. I have also setup a job to run sp_who. The alert runs the job with the sp_who command when it is fired. How can I save the results of sp_who to a file?
TIA

Hi ,
I have a SQL 7 database in which I have set the autogrow on. I need some way to be notified when the database does an autogrow. The reason for this is that if it does an autogrow once then if I am notified then I can manually expand the DB size without having SQL Server do multiple autogrows. I was looking at setting an alert but cannot find any message in sysmessages that seem to be information types for auto grow. Has anyone done this kind of thing.
Thanks
