Q: Where does the SQL script execute after the alert action is saved and set, and alert triggers?Ī: The SQL script executes on a server from where alert raised.In the previous parts of the SQL Server auditing methods series, we described the SQL Server Audit feature, its characteristics, components, how to configure and use it Q: What if part of the script fails during the execution?Ī: Execution made within a transaction and therefore the entire SQL script will be rolled back. ApexSQL Monitor will eventually display specific error message on invalid syntax or point to an improper usage of specific script or command. Q: Is it possible to combine different alert actions functionalities (SNMP trap, custom SQL script and custom command) in a single alert action profile?Ī: Yes, it is possible, if SQL script and command inputs are valid and SNMP profile is set properly. When alert trigger, SQL scripts are executing sequentially. XE2įROM Can I execute multiple scripts at once?Ī: Yes, by creating a desired number of alert actions in a single alert action profile (like shown below) To gather the information from the who2 stored procedure, first declare the temporary table with exact columns from the execution result of the stored procedure, and then insert the data from temporary table to an actual table, within the script in ApexSQL MonitorĮvent_Session_Id NVARCHAR (50 ) ,Event_Id INT, NAME NVARCHAR (50 ) ,Package NVARCHAR (50 ) ,Module NVARCHAR (100 ) ) INSERT XESessionsActions SELECT * INTO dbo. The Extended events session (included in this article) handles an information just on active session occurring in monitored SQL server process, and its memory consumption (ApexSQL Monitor constantly gathers the values only with Target server memory and Total server memory metrics, which are cumulative values). Stored procedure who2 provides an information which database used which command and when it is executed. These scripts help in detailed troubleshooting or identifying specific problems in SQL server performance. These examples of the SQL scripts will include the who2 stored procedure, as a diagnostic tool for determining system slowdowns occurrence, and also Extended events objects, both queried through the execution of stored procedures. Import data from stored procedures and Extended events objects This can be solved, for illustrating purpose, by putting the actual name of the server in the form of string in the script (‘’), instead of the %Server% action tag The ServerName value here is represented with a dot (.), because of the SQL server settings, when the SQL server name is the same like machine’s name. Importing the information of the alerting event into custom databaseįirst, create a database and corresponding table, with this T-SQL code: Examples of SQL scripts to use within Create SQL script alert actionīeside the provided examples, users can execute their own SQL scripts, according to their needs, on a local or remote machine, as long as specified permissions and requirements are set for utilizing the remote machine, and scripts are valid. If alerting is enabled for the specific metric (like for Available megabytes of memory (MB) metric on the picture above), any of the alert action profile can be embedded. To include the custom alert action profile, set it within the Configuration subsystem in corresponding field: The list of available alert actions profiles can be reviewed (and edited, if needed) after saving:īesides custom alert action profile, there are two other, pre-defined profiles: ApexSQL deadlock info and ApexSQL deadlock info. In both cases, after successful execution, the message will appear:Īfterwards, the alert action profile My custom alert can be saved, modified according to the needs and used further. If the action tags are included in a script, the Select tags modal dialog will appear (for this case, the %Server% action tag is selected):

This panel consists of two components: the SQL script input field and preset action tags (below).Īction tags like Server full name, Alert severity and others are parameters which can be used in the script composition, and they represent the information that retrieves directly from the alerting event.Īfter the input of a desired SQL statement, press the Test button. Initially, user will be prompted to add an email profile, by default.Įlements of the SQL script execution panel Name the new alert action profile My custom alert, and select Create SQL script option: Then, add a new action profile, as in the picture below: To use the SQL script alert action, first choose a desired SQL Server instance, and navigate to the Configuration subsystem and Alert actions tab.

These custom actions in alerts won’t be fired if there is no alert activity.ġ. All the alert actions ( Create SNMP trap, Create command, and mentioned) relate to alert triggering events.
