SSIS Logging - start and end dates

  • We use a fairly detailed level of logging within our packages.

    It's configured for each package by selecting the SSIS / Logging / Details / Advanced tab.

    There is no obvious way to select StartTime and EndTime for every row which is logged - they appear to be mandatory.

    OK, we can live with that. But we've noticed that, for every row, the values for StartTime and EndTime are identical. Our log table is currently 70 million rows in size, so that's not a small sample.

    Do others see the same thing? Are these values ever different?

  • Never really payed attention to it, but you're right. I just ran a package with every possible log event enabled, but the columns are still the same.

    So you can basically ignore the endtime column.

    Thanks for confirming that we are not alone - that's an awful lot of wasted disk space around the world.
