Email alert if SQL Server Services stop abruptly

Hi,
I am a SQL Server DBA and I am currently working on setting up email alerts in case if SQL Server services stop abruptly.I have currently written a VB script which runs every 1 hr and checks if a SQL Server Service is running or not. This VB Script runs
with the help of Windows Task Scheduler.In case if a SQL Server service has stopped, this VB script immediately sends an email via. SMTP Server.
Please let me know if this is a good solution or is there any other better solution or is there any feature available in SQL/windows using which the same can be achieved.
Environment:
SQL 2008 R2
OS: Windows Server 2008
Thanks a lot in advance :)

Tauhid S Shaikh

Hi Tauhid,
I do have same requirement, please could you share the code.

SQL Server service stopped unexpectedly event ID 7034

On one of UAT server we are having issue with SQL Serverices and they are stopped unexpectedly .There is failure details in Event logs \SQL Error logs. we havent done any of the changes on server.
Event id : 7034

Hi,
so late but still, any solution you got or still waiting for that?
Are you able to check os\sql logs and find out anything which may appear that causing and putting a cascading effect on the services?
Also you can add some more attempts for the services to try like below:
Change the recovery actions
To resolve this issue, change the recovery actions that the Service Control Manager (SCM) will take when a service fails.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in
Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To change the recovery actions for a service:
Open the Services snap-in by clicking the
Start button, Control Panel, and Administrative Tools, then double-clicking
Services.
Note: For Windows Vista, use the
Classic View display option in Control Panel to see the
Administration Tools.
In the details pane of the
Services snap-in, right-click on the name of the service you want to stop and select
Properties.
Click the Recovery tab and specify the recovery actions for the service (for example, restart the service or the computer, take no action, or run a program).
It will be good to share any logs around the time it fails.
Thanks for sharing.

SQL Server services having stop

We're using SQL server 2008 r2 but having lot of issues. My application running on SQL server but it stop everyday. SQL services stop then my application automatic hang then i restart the server then after my application work.

Hi harigaurav,
If SQL Server Services stop regularly every day, then you can check the Start Mode for the services in SQL Server Configuration Manager, check the Windows Scheduler or use some monitor tools to monitor SQL Server services status.
If SQL Server Services always stop unexpectedly, we can configure SQL Server Agent to restart the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services automatically. To configure automatic service restart:
Open the SQL Server Management Studio Management folder, right-click the SQL Server Agent entry, and select Properties.
On the General page, select the Auto Restart SQL Server If It Stops Unexpectedly check box.
Here, you should also select the Auto Restart SQL Server Agent If It Stops Unexpectedly check box.
Click OK.
Thanks,

Script to send email notification when sql server stops..

Hi,
I am looking for a script through which I can monitor sql server service status and if it down for any reason, I want to send email to Dba team. How to achieve this? Did anyone has already done similar kind of monitoring?
Again, I am not looking for any 3rd party monitoring system like SCOM etc.. I looking for a batch file or script outside sql which can solve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

There are two ways to do it:
1). There is a job option wherein you can put the alert message and then in schedule option, select to alert you only when Sql Agent Services get restarted. So this way you will come to know when Sql Agent Services got restarted.
2). From any centralize\third server apart from your database server\host, you can put a job to execute almost around every 5 minutes to check service status and then call a batch file which will call OSQL code to execute sql code for sending alert
based on the message content you want to like below:
Scripts below, even you can tweak more on this as per your environment requirement and even you can merge some scripts to make one out of two or similar, however keeping each separate one helps to track scripts.
First Batch File with Name: ServiceStatusCheck.bat
with below content
Echo "Checking Service Status"
:Query
FOR /F "tokens=4 delims= " %%A IN ('SC QUERY "XXXXXXXXServiceNametobeCheckedPutHere" ^| FIND "STATE"') DO SET status=%%A
IF "%status%"=="STOPPED" GOTO Shootout
:Shootout
'email for success in first attempt
'Put path of batch file
"D:\Script\Successemail.bat"
Exit
Second Batch file with below content which will call Sql file to send alert: File Name: Successemail.bat
ECHO "Send Email Alert"
OSQL -E -S XXXXXXXXX -i "D:\Script\Successemail.sql"
ECHO "Done"
Exit
Third Sql File to send email: File Name: Successemail.sql
Declare @bodyT varchar(200)
Set @bodyT =
'Service was found in stopped status and Date & Time::'
+replace(convert(varchar(20),GETDATE(), 102),'.','/')
+'::'
+convert(varchar(20),GETDATE(), 108)
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
    @profile_name='Profilename',
    @recipients = '[email protected]',
    @body = @bodyT,
    @subject = 'Service was found in stopped status, Check Details!!'

You need to do this outside of SQL server. You need some monitoring tools or you need to develop one which frequently checks SQL Server Services

Stopping sql server services while applying Service pack On SQL server 2008 and 2008 R2

Hi,
I am planning to apply service pack 3 for SQL 2008 R2 and Service pack 4 for SQL server 2008. This is my first time and I am applying first QA and DEV environment. I have one confusion. In cluster once you fail over sql resources to active node all of the
sql services including SQLSERVER and Agent are automatically stopped in passive node where we apply service pack. But in Stand alone, The services are not automatically stopped. Do I need to manually stop those services like SQLSERVER, Agent, Browser
and others if any before I start applying service pack?
Early Response is highly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

Hello,
You don’t need to stop SQL Server services. Let SQL Server setup do it as needed.
Please read the following article for the cluster you would like to update:

Monitor SQL Server service Broker queue status

I need to monitor SQL Server service Broker queue status. If the queue is disabled, send me an email alert.
Can you let me know what's the best way to accomplish it using SCOM?

1) create a queue for notification
2) create a service on notification queue
3)Create an event notification for broker queue disable. Associate this with the queue that you are monitoring.
4)Create a procedure that send you and email with this event happens
Example:
---- Notification
CREATE
QUEUENotify_queue
-- Service
CREATE
SERVICE[http://queue_Notify]
ONQUEUENotify_queue([http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/PostEventNotification]);
--Event
CREATE
EVENTNOTIFICATION[http://queue_Notify_event]
ONQUEUETarget_queue
FORBROKER_QUEUE_DISABLED
TOSERVICE'http://queue_Notify','current
database';
GO
procedure will be something like...
WAITFOR
RECEIVETOP(1)
@RecvReqMsgName=message_type_name,
@RecvReplyMsg=message_body,
@RecvReplyDlgHandle=conversation_handle
FROMNotify_queue),TIMEOUT5000
IF(@RecvReqMsgName='http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/Notifications/EventNotification')
BEGIN
DECLARE@cmdNVARCHAR(MAX)

SQL Server Service won't start on SQL Server 2008

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble starting SQL Server service after stopping and starting the service. Before this happened, I created a Stored Procedure for marking all tables at once along with a maintenance plan for differential backup on all my databases based on the
recommendation from this link, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253070.aspx.
When I realized that the differential backup failed with some databases displaying (Restoring...) post-fix to the database name, I decided to stop SQL Server service and start it up. That is when I won't be able to start the service again.
Is there a fix for starting the SQL Server service? Any help is very much appreciated.
Additional information:
- With administrator permission granted.
- Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008 installed.
- Using default database instance.
- Tried C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.....\Binn>net start MSSQLSERVER /T3608 ( return msg: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.
- When I start SQL Server service, I keep getting this dialog msg:
"Windowns could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1814."
The event log does not explain or provide any hint on how to fix the problem.

Sql reporting services stops every 24 hours for a short time then restarts

I have noticed that recently in sccm 2012 sp1 the sql reporting services stops every morning at 7:58 am and restarts after a minute or two. The only entry in the event logs is when it stops. I don't see anything tied in with it that stops or
starts at the same time and there are no tasks or anything like that which would point to this time frame. I just thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone had any ideas. Usually with something of this nature there are some corresponding
log entries that go beyond the service stopping, but in this case there isn't. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I think I found out what was going on. I approached this from a different angle and was directed to the sql reporting services logs and found information on the reporting web server stopping. Researching that yielded the following information.
It appears that this is a result of the SSRS Web Server recycling the App Domain, which is supposed to be a pretty normal process. In fact, the configuration file for this process defaults to recycling the app domain twice daily. This lines up
with the time frame that the reporting service is stopping. It restarts it in less that two minutes and logs the recyling in the reporting services log twice daily so why I'm not seeing this entry in the event logs twice daily or even every day must
be a timing thing. I think if it takes an extra millisecond or two to recycle the app domain, it dumps an entry into the windows event logs and the sccm component status monitoring.

After changing 'MS SQL server' service's user name SDAC doesn't work properly

I've changed 'MS SQL Server' service user name
from .\admin (have had such already) to network_services
and now my oracle linked servers to Oracle instance stopped to work.
Namely, 'Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server Ora_RO'.
In event log i see next:
The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{2206CDB0-19C1-11D1-89E0-00C04FD7A829}
and APPID
{2206CDB0-19C1-11D1-89E0-00C04FD7A829}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
So, MSDAINITIALIZE Class fails to start. I cannot locate this service under dcomcnfg. Could you help me?

The error seems to be clear what is causing the issue, check this link to fix this issue

SQL Reporting Services stops on my SharePoint 2007 Moss environment?

Hi,
I have SharePoint 2007 Moss SP3 installed on my VMWare server. I have a separate database VMWare server. I have SQL Server Reporting Services configured. Every other day the SQL Reporting Service stops, it seems to time out and logs a 7031 windows event.
I've had to create a scheduled task to restart this service every day at 4am. The OWSTIMER process consumes around 50% CPU. Any solutions for the above?
Thanks.

Hi AspNet-Scotland,
The application pool for Central Admin might be timing out, increasing the shutdown time limit for the process model from the default of 90 seconds to something longer (300 seconds) should resolve it if the cause is time-outs.
This post explains how to change the Shutdown Time limit:

Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

Hi!
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #1)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:27,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #2)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #3)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Error,[140] AutoRestart: The MSSQLSERVER service could not be restarted after 3 attempts,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
As you can see, SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this. How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

Hello,
SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of
select @@version
>>Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service.No this is not the case
>>Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly
Did you checked sql server errorlog and windows event log completely.Please do so and paste if you find some more info

SQL server service broker

Hi All,
I have requirement to implement SQL server service broker in SQL server 2008, please guide me for that, how and why we use for that, then have any other option to achieve.
Please give any good stuff to learn service broker.
Thanks,
Jai.

This is a very good book to learn about Service Broker:
http://www.amazon.com/Rational-Server-Service-Broker-Guides/dp/1932577270/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418942042&sr=8-1&keywords=%22roger+wolter%22+%22service+broker%22&pebp=1418942044114
In difference from many other computer books, this is not a brick, but only 220 pages.
Also, Remus Rusanu's blog covers many important concepts with Service Broker:
