dbWarden questions

  • Hello --

    I am trying out the dbWarden application by running it within the 2008 Standard R2 SQL Studio application. It appears to have executed successfully, but I am having trouble identifying and locating the output file. Can anyone provide information on this? Thanks.

  • Hello --

    I had a follow-up. I saved the output of the file to an rpt file, but I am hoping to generate a file similar to that which is shown in the screenshot on the following site:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/dbwarden/?source=navbar

    What steps are required to accomplish this?

  • I have this running on numerous SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster Instances and works great except for one. This one instance that gives me trouble just happens to be one which is Mirroring to another Instance across the WAN.

    The issue is the "dbWarden_HealthReport" runs but never finishes or fails.

    I am betting the issue is because the DB is Mirroring but not sure what to do about it.

    Any ideas / suggestions?

    Thanks!

    In general, this is because there is a lot of data in the ErrorLog, if you comment this section in the HealthReport stored procedure, the results may appear faster.
    I created a table of parameters to see or hide the different sections of this report, and I modified the stored HealthReport procedure to show its sections depending on this. You can do the same. Luck
