How to monitor Log Backups for MS SQL Server

Hello all.
We are running Solution Manager 7.1 on SP Stack 10 and have downloaded the latest template content.
When configuring the templates for DB monitoring, we noticed that although there is a metric that monitors the age of the last DB backup, there is no such metric to monitor the age of the last successful Log backup, or even a metric to alert us on a failed backup / log backup.
Has any of you ever had to create a custom metric to monitor either the age of the latest successful log backup for MS SQL Server, or a custom metric to alert on failed backups / log backups?
If yes, could you provide some instructions on how to create such a metric?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Divyanshu, thank you for your answer.
I had a similar idea to check the DB log file for failed log backups. The problem is that when I opened the log file from the dbacockpit, I found no errors/warnings for the days that our log backups did not run or failed. Here is a small part of that log to show you what I mean. In this example, the log backup was not running from 25th of July until the 28th of July when we fixed the log backups again, after receiving a disk space warning (log disk drive was almost full):
The last successful log backup is mentioned in the log: "20140724091524    Backup    Log was backed up"
Then as the days go by, there is no backup failure entries whatsoever to look for them in the log:
20140725000023    spid18s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
20140725000023    spid18s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
20140726000020    spid21s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
20140726000020    spid21s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
20140727000023    spid22s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
20140727000023    spid22s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
20140728000022    spid17s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
20140728000022    spid17s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
Until finally on the 28th we restored the log backup functionality:
20140728042814    Backup    Log was backed up. Database: XXX, creation date(time): 2010/12/22(16:45:29)
So, I find it difficult to deduce an appropriate string to look for in the log, in order to generate an alert when my log backups are not working.
Any suggestions? Am I looking at the wrong place perhaps?

How can I get an accurate count of computers (workstations) logged in to my SQL Server database?

We license our software by number of workstations.
I have a query that I have used for years to get an accurate count of the workstations logged in to my SQL Server database. For simplicity, all users use the same login name/password. This is built in to the script that attaches to the DB. They
have access only to that DB with the exception of
USE [Master] GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE to MyUser
The query that has been working is below:
Basically this relies on the mac address (Master.dbo.sysprocesses.net_addre
SELECT COUNT(Users) AS UserCount FROM (SELECT COUNT(Master.dbo.sysprocesses.hostname) AS Users FROM Master.dbo.sysprocesses LEFT OUTER JOIN Master.dbo.sysdatabases ON Master.dbo.sysdatabases.dbid = Master.dbo.sysprocesses.dbid WHERE (Master.dbo.sysdatabases.name = 'MyDatabase') GROUP BY Master.dbo.sysprocesses.net_address) AS UserCount_1
ss), since both Workstation names and ip addresses can be duplicated.
Recently this has stopped working at a number of customers. Suddenly individual workstations are showing multiple net addresses for the same workstation causing a substantial overcount of users. This may be related to SQL Server 2012 - not sure.
What I need is a very reliable way to get a count of workstations logged in to my database.
If anyone can tell me why I am suddenly getting multiple net_addresses for each workstation and how to prevent that that would be one possible solution.
Otherwise if anyone can give me a rock solid way to get a workstation count other than the above that would be great. Our largest customer is 50 users by the way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kim

I think your count is getting skewed because of duplicate rows in sysprocesses because of parallelism. Add DISTINCT to your query:
SELECT COUNT(Users) AS UserCount
FROM
( SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Master.dbo.sysprocesses.hostname) AS Users
FROM Master.dbo.sysprocesses LEFT OUTER JOIN Master.dbo.sysdatabases
ON Master.dbo.sysdatabases.dbid = Master.dbo.sysprocesses.dbid
WHERE (Master.dbo.sysdatabases.name = 'MyDatabase'
GROUP BY Master.dbo.sysprocesses.net_address) AS UserCount_1

Ident_Current('TableName') not giving last inserted identity Value in SQL Server 2012

Hi ,
Ident_Current('TableName') is not giving last inserted identity Value in SQL Server 2012.
Latest Value of ID and Ident_Current is differing for that particular table.
Why its happening? Ident_Current value is greater than last inserted ID.
Please guide me why its happening?

Here is one example:
CREATE DATABASE PMCtest ON (NAME = 'PMCtest', FILENAME = 'B:\ProdDB-Unzipped\PMCtest.mdf', SIZE = 25GB )
LOG ON (NAME = 'PMCtest_log', FILENAME = 'B:\ProdDB-Unzipped\PMCtest.ldf', SIZE = 2GB)
CREATE TABLE identity_crisis (a int IDENTITY NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b sysname NOT NULL CHECK (b <> 'sysschobjs'))
go
INSERT identity_crisis (b) VALUES ('First name')
INSERT identity_crisis SELECT name FROM sys.objects
go
SELECT MAX(a), ident_current('identity_crisis')
FROM identity_crisis
go
DROP TABLE identity_crisis
Because the second INSERT statement fails, the identity values from 2 to 12 are lost. This is a very intentional design to promote high concurrency. If you don't want gaps, you should not use IDENTITY, but roll your own.
Also, beware that ident_current returns database-wide value, so if you insert one row, and another process inserts another row before you interrogate ident_current, you will get the id for the row of the other process.

How to calculate the HFM Cube size in SQL Server-2005

Hi
How to calculate the HFM Cube size in SQL Server-2005 ?
Below query used for Oracle. Then what is query for SQL Server?
SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024) from dba_segments where segment_name like 'FINANCIAL_%' and owner='HFM';
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024)
SQL> select sum(bytes/1024/1024) from dba_segments where segment_name like 'HSV FINANCIAL%' and owner='HFM';
SUM(BYTES/1024/1024)
Regards
Smilee

What is your objective? The subcube in HFM is a concept which applies to the application tier - not so much to the database tier. The size of the subcube is the unique number of data strips (data values for January - December inclusive, for example) for the given entity, currency triplet or Parent.Child node. You have to account for parent accounts and customs which don't exist in the database but are generated in RAM in the application tier.
So, if your objective is to find the largest subcubes, you could do this by querying the database and counting the number of records per entity/value (DCE tables) or parent.child entity combination (DCN tables). I'm not versed in SQL, but I think the script below would just tell you the schema size and not the subcube sizes.
Check out Accelatis.com for a third party software product that can do this for you. The feature is called the Subcube Analyzer and was written by the same team that wrote HFM, so they ought to know how this works :-)

That's hard to say. One second for CPU is quite high time and CPU can do lot of work in that time. again, this is relative and depends on what the query is.
The biggest bottleneck in performance is - Disk IO system. In general, if the required data is in memory, it can help significantly in improving the performance.
Remember, CPU will be doing other processing work while it is fetching the data from disk.
What you need to is - load test or stress your server. There are some tools available for you to do it.

read this : http://www.brentozar.com/archive/2012/06/load-test-sqlserver/
You also need to look at Max worker thread limitations. this depends on the server configuration(64 bit/32 bit) and other factors...
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187024%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
one problem that can happend is thread pool starvation where there are too many connections
happening if your server cannot keep up with the workload.. like if your cpu is working in processing the queries and cannot accept new connections..
watch this good youtube video on thread pool starvatioin :

How do I change an IP address of SQL Server which is locally hosted and is not on cluster?

Hi All,
How do I change an IP address of SQL Server which is locally hosted and is not on cluster?
I am asking about IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.

How to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables

Hi,
I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server.
how to provide joins between oracle tables and sql server tables ? Any help on this
Regards,
Malli

user10675696 wrote:
I have a requirement that i need to generate a report form two different data base. i.e Oracle and Sql Server. Bad idea most times. Heterogeneous joins do not exactly scale and performance can be severely degraded by network speed and b/w availability. And there is nothing you can do in the application and database layers to address performance issue at the network level in this case - your code's performance is simply at the mercy of network performance. With a single glaring fact - network performance is continually degrading. All the time. Always. Until it is upgraded. When the performance degradation starts all over again.
If the tables are not small (few 1000 rows each) and row volumes static, I would not consider doing a heterogeneous join. Instead I would rather go for a materialised view on the Oracle side, use a proper table and index structure, and do a local database join.

You created the data source on the app server which is the first step. Now you can use the JDBC service to query the database:

The JDBC-ODBC bridge wasn't recognizing any of the primary keys I had set up in SQL Server. After lots of head banging, here's the solution I came up with:
1. Download the appropriate driver. SQL Server 2000 requires the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=07287B11-0502-461A-B138-2AA54BFDC03A&displaylang=en).
SQL Server 2005 download: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en)
3. After installing, right-click on "Libraries" in your project, and choose "Add Library...". Next, give it a name (i.e. SQLServer2000), and select "Class Libraries".
4. On the next screen, find the JAR files (should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\), and add them under the "Classpath" tab. It will now be available under "Libraries" for future projects.
5. You can now create a connection to a specific database under the "Services" tab (next to "Projects" and "Files" in the top left of the screen). Select "Microsoft Sql Server 2000 (Microsoft Driver)" and format the "Database URL" like this:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver//YOURSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=YOURDATABASE
1433 is the default port, though your DBA may have changed it.
I posted a simpler version of this on the NetBeans.org FAQ page - they had the following title with no content on the answer page:
"Cannot Select Tables From MsSql 2000 Because It Says No Primary Key Next To Each Table But The Tables DO Have A Primary Key. What Do I Do?"
