Email when High SQL Disk IO

Hi,
Is there anyway I can setup an alert/email on my SQL server to fire email as it detect high DiskIO. we are having disk latency more often now and I can't narrow it down, as soon as tech team inform me and I jump on to server, everything comes back to normal.
Thanks
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 on widows 2008 R2 Standard

Looking at last Latency issue timmings, I don't see any I/O request taking longer than 15 sec been recorded in log file. I been told by Tech team that it is SQL Server which is causing the problem.
Is there any other way I can narrow it down
In team there are lot of people you who point fingers. Just because someone says that it is SQL Server causing problem it does not means it is SQL Server issue. Yes you can see disk performance ask Storage team to check the disk performance or you yourself
can fire disk related counters
Following blog will help you
High Disk I/O from sql server or is High disk I/O slowing sql server?

Sending an email when passwords are expired?

Hello,
I am a novice in JSP area. What I am working on thesedays is to send an email when a password has been expired. The password will be expired after 60 days. Can I embed the codes in Servlet? Or should I use something else such as Oracle pl/sql?
The thing is the web server is not in my company. I have to send a war file to the office which has the server. So I really want to embed every functions including sending an email into the war file.
Thank you in advance!

I am sorry. I put this on wrong forum. I didn't know how to delete it, though.

Error when adding a disk to Cluster Shared Volumes

When adding a disk to Cluster Shared Volumes via Failover Cluster Manager, I get a couple of errors.
Event ID 5145 in System Log:
While adding the disk ('Cluster Disk 1') to Cluster Shared Volumes, setting explicit snapshot diff area association for volume ('\\?\Volume{420e2cc4-4fb4-41be-afb1-65f2ee62457a}\') failed with error 'HrError(0x8004230d)'. The only supported software snapshot
diff area association for Cluster Shared Volumes is to self.
Cluster disk resource 'Cluster Disk 1' failed to delete a software snapshot. The diff area on volume '\\?\Volume{420e2cc4-4fb4-41be-afb1-65f2ee62457a}\' could not be dissociated from volume '\\?\Volume{420e2cc4-4fb4-41be-afb1-65f2ee62457a}\'. This
may be caused by active snapshots. Cluster Shared Volumes requires that the software snapshot be located on the same disk.
Any ideas why I'm getting this error? This disk was previously added as a CSV to different Windows failover cluster, if that matters. Thanks.

Hi,
As the disk was previously used as a CSV, I assume there is still data on it.
Please check if any VSS snapshot created on that disk. If so, delete them and re-add it as a CSV to see the result - a quick way is to backup important files and perform a re-format if you cannot confirm.

How can I send an email when a function returns false?

Im trying to make this code work, but i still receive an email when the function is equal to false. Can anyone assist me in finding the issue? What the program does is look for servers that has a set limit (in GB) on specific drives.
#This Program goes through all the servers and informs any level below the limit
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue";
$scriptpath = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$dir = Split-Path $scriptpath
#=================Function============
Function isLow($server, $drive, $limit)
$disk = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $server -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DriveType = 3 and DeviceID = '$drive'";
[float]$size = $disk.Capacity;
[float]$freespace = $disk.FreeSpace;
$sizeGB = [Math]::Round($size / 1073741824, 2);
$freeSpaceGB = [Math]::Round($freespace / 1073741824, 2);
if($freeSpaceGB -lt $limit){
return $true;
else{
return $false;
#================Servers==============
#------------------###server1--------------
$server = "###server1";
$drive = "C:";
$lim = 25;
if(isLow $server $drive $lim)
$Alert += $server + " || " + $drive + " is low<br>"
$server = "###server1";
$drive = "D:";
$lim = 35;
if(isLow $server $drive $lim)
$Alert += $server + " || " + $drive + " is low<br>"
#-----------------###(more servers ect.)--------------
#================EMAIL===============
$smtpServer = "192.168.x.x"
$ReportSender = "[email protected]"
$users = "[email protected]"
$MailSubject = "ALERT!!! Low DiskSpace"
foreach($user in $users){
if($true){
Write-Host "Sending Email notification to $user"
$smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$msg = New-Object Net.Mail.MailMessage

Using a CSV is good. Just load the "$servers" hash array from a CSV and the rest will work the same. The overall structure would work better if it was more like this.
Function isLow($server, $drive, $limit){
$disk = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $server -Class Win32_LogicalDisk -Filter "DriveType = 3 and DeviceID = '$drive'"
if($disk.FreeSSpace -lt $limit){
$true

$false

$results=foreach($servers in $servers){
if(isLow $server.Server $server.Drive $server.Limit){
'{0} || {1} is low<br>' -f $servers.Server,$server.Drive
if($results){

The biggest issue is to realize that this is a computer. If you type the same thing more than once then consider that the computer can do it for you. Once you learn to think like a computer all of this becomes easier.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Email when approval are required - Project Server 2013

Hi everyone,
I've got a little question, is it possible to send an email when a new update appears in the "Approval Center" (PWA/Approvals.aspx) ? And if yes, how can I do this ?
I've tried with a workflow (in the "Project Server Workflow Tasks" list) but it does not seem to work.
Thanks,
Patmol

Hello Patmol6,
Ditto on what Hrishi suggests.
I would use a SQL query that search new approvals and when it finds one, then send an email. After the query is written, use SSIS (Sql Server Integration Services) and create a job to manage this. There are probably several goods SQL
administrators that could set this up for you.

How to get an email when data got inserted

Hi All,
Could you please let me know how to get an email when data got inserted into table by using sql/plsql
Thanks in adavance

Could you please let me know how to get an email when data got inserted into table by using sql/plsql
Well that seems pretty straightforward - write some pl/sql to send you an email when that pl/sql inserts data into a table.
See this Oracle-base article for an example of sending mail.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/email-from-oracle-plsql.php
Post what you have tried so far. What part of what you have tried doesn't seem to be working?

Receiving emails when I want to

How do I set up my 8520 curve to only receive emails when I want it to? At the moment it is constantly going of all day telling me emails have come in and I would just like to be able to open a inbox and then they all come in then..Like my PC
is this possible?
If not can I turn off the notification of emails received so it don't keep bothering me all day long ?

It is a push device.
Set your Sound profile to Phone calls only or all alert off.
Maybe a holster would be good too, I set it up so that most alerts only do a short vibe in holster.
This is what I do to sleep at night.

Cannot send email when clicking lonk on web page

I cannot send email when clicking link on web page.
When I would click the link to send via email I was being directed to hotmail to open new account.
Today the tech tried to assist me and completely messed up my email capabilities by setting up
windows live account.
I am thoroughly disgusted with FIOS internet services..Every time I've called them in the past month problem has been with someone else whose portal services they are using.
I cannot send emails because all my contact information cannot be moved.
I'm paying for FIOS internet service that is almost non existent.
THe VZ in home agent doesn't work nor does the FIOS information site.
My next move is to get rid of FIOS.
They create more problems then they solve with me.

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else? I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
I am able to send using my me.com server.
Home service provider is Cogeco.
Any help would be appreciated.

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.
