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?

Hi Timo,
My jdev version is 10.1.3.3.0, this is for R12. By PR i mean to say process request and PFR process form request in the controller.
In the Process request of the controller, i am finding the checkbox bean and assigning the firepartialaction for it.
Later in the process form request for the fired event, i am trying to handle the rendered property of the messagetextinput. Is this a right approach?
my code below
public void processRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean oamessagecheckboxbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_FLAG");
if(oamessagecheckboxbean != null)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Message check box Bean found:", 1);
FirePartialAction firepartialaction = new FirePartialAction("change");
oamessagecheckboxbean.setAttributeValue(PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, firepartialaction);
oamessagecheckboxbean.setFireActionForSubmit("change", null, null, true);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "setting fire event", 1);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside Process Form Request", 1);
if("change".equals(oapagecontext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
OAMessageTextInputBean bean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_NUMBER");
if(bean!=null){
bean.setRendered(Boolean.TRUE);}

The System Monitoring Plug-in for Microsoft SQL Server

Hello all,
I have EM 11g monitoring all of my Oracle dbs - love it.
I am playing around with SQL plugin and wanted to know a few things:
1. does this need to be licensed
2. does the plug in monitor the actual databases or just at the instance level (performance of the engine only)
3. I was able to add the plug-in and everything seems good to go until i got to the following step in the documentation:
Adding Instances for Monitoring
Follow these steps to add the plug-in target to Grid Control for central monitoring and management:
+1.From the Agent home page where the plug-in was deployed, select the Microsoft SQL Server target type from the Add drop-down list, then click Go. The Add Microsoft SQL Server page appears.+
for the life of me, i can't figure out where to find the "Add drop-down list". Please help.!

Yes it needs to be licensed

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

Full Database Backup in DB13 for MS SQL Server databases

Hello,
We have some SAP systems using the MS SQL Server database. I want to know if it is possible to setup the Full Database Backup option in transaction DB13 to store the files in a hard disk space.
I already did this type of configuration in SAP systems in Oracle databases and for this I used the init<SID>.sap where we can put all the configuration, for instance the disk path where we want to save the backup files! But for MS SQL Server databases, in DB13, I don´t know how to do that, when I add the "Full Database Backup" option in DB13, this show me some options but only for tape, but I don´t want to store the backup files in tapes, I want to store/save the files on the server disk itself or else to an external disk but I don´t see where I can set this way of storage!
This is what you see in DB13 (when using a MS SQL Server database) in "Full Database Backup" and as you see I only have options for TAPE not for a disk or other type of storage! How can I do that? (if that is possible):
Can you help me please?
Kind regards,
samid raif

Hello Raja
Sorry for the delay of my answer! Many thanks for that tip, it helps a lot and it solve the last error/problem that I reported here, in fact, the problem was we had named the device with two words containing a space. So we removed that space from the backup device (in SQL management studio) with one word only and the job runs successfully without any errors!
It works in Development and Quality systems but in our Production system (AM1) the Full backup option in DB13 stopped with the following error, in fact the error is on verification of backup, it means that the Full backup finished with success, but when it does the backup verification, the job in DB13 stops with an error, the following one:

How much Memory should be allocated to SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2005 installation on a server having 64GBof RAM.
SQL server is allocated 57GB of the available RAM.
Could you please tell me what would be the ideal RAM allocation for my scenario. is the one that is set now, fine.
How much RAM should be left for the OS and other processes to run?
I have around 8 databases on the server and the cumulative size of all the databases in about 800GB, these are highly used servers, used for a public domain.

Umesh,
Saeid and Uri has already given you good articles to refer to please read them. Reg SQL Server utilization I am sure you are referring to task manager which is always not correct place to look for memory utilization. Below link has query which will give
you SQL Server memory utilization
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlsakthi/archive/2011/02/28/t-sql-script-to-monitor-memory-usage-by-sql-server-instance.aspx
Article provided by Uri will give you not absolute value but almost correct value, but since you asked absolute value you need to look at performance counter to reach at correct memory utilization. If you refer to section 'Does my SQL server has low memory'
in article which Saeid gave you will find list of counters to monitor for memory utilization use the counters to reah absolute value.
>>OK, Can high RAM utilization by sql server cause the OS to restart by any chance.
IMO its not possible I have never seen SQL server being cause for OS shutdown. SQL Server works in non preemptive mode and will yield memory to OS when required. One possibility is when SQL server has locked pages in memory(LPIM) and some rouge process
or driver starts using memory from OS heavily and since SQL server memory is locked( due to LPIM privilege) it cannot trim heavily resulting in OS to terminate but this is not because of SQL server but because of bad drivers and processes leaking
memory on OS.
SQL server using memory is normal behavior
>>This question seems vague, but I had to ask this, because my server restarts abruptly and I don't get valid reasons in the Logs for that matter.
Does SQL server starts abruptly or windows OS ? Please look at event viewer for more details and SQL server logs. Is your SQL Server 2005 patched to SP4
Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it.

Hierarchy monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall exception

SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER reports (Message ID=3353):
"Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server <fqdn> ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall
exception."
This is a fresh SCCM 2012 environment with no firewall active. SQL is installed on the same server as SCCM 2012. Is there a way to fix this without enabling the firewall?

Check this out
Issue:
ConfigMgr logs the error even though Windows Firewall is disabled or it is enabled and all exceptions are added to SQL Server(s).
Environment: I had an environment consist of a two node SQL Cluster hosting ConfigMgr database and a separate ConfigMgr primary site server
Resolution:
Windows firewall service must be started on both SQL nodes and ConfigMgr itself . As soon as the service is started exceptions for TCP 1433 and 4022 must be added to SQL nodes firewall.
After that the firewall profiles can be disabled using:
netsh advf set allp state off
This is true but if you disable the firewall even thought you have opened the Firewall port then disabled the firewall. The status message will continue to be generated and your site server will still be in an error state.
Notice that I said "disabled" and not "turn off".

In this case I don't need to specify any username or password because I'm already logged in as gdahan on my computer. But when I try to create the datasource I need a username and password. Is there any way to specify to the datasource that I want to connect via Authentication windows ?
I tried with BEA MS SQL server driver and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.2[

I tried with BEA MS SQL server driver and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.2[See the complete documentation for MS's JDBC driver
for how/whether it can do Windows Authentication.
This is completely at the driver level, not WebLogic,
except that (of course) WebLogic would have to be
running on Windows.

How to delete number (00) in a SQL Server column ?

how to delete number (00) in a SQL Server column ?

column : Births before   Births

                   199900

You use REPLACE function to selectively replace text inside a string in SQL Server. The REPLACE function is easy to use and very handy with an UPDATE statement.
SELECT Replace(births, '00', '')
or
update .....
Also you can use STUFF()
This function can be used for delete a certain length of the string and insert a new string in the deleted place.
Select STUFF ('199900', 5, 2, '')
--result 1900,1982,....
