Great article, looking forward for next step.

I had a little problem when running the query - but it was easy to spot where the problem was.

SELECT

t.id AS TraceId ,

path AS TraceFilePath ,

tcat.name AS EventCategory ,

tevent.name AS EventClassName ,

tcolumn.name AS ColumnName

FROM sys.traces AS t

CROSS APPLY fn_trace_geteventinfo(t.id) AS tdef

JOIN sys.trace_events AS tevent ON tdef.eventid = tevent.trace_event_id

JOIN sys.trace_categories AS tcat ON tcat.category_id = tevent.category_id

JOIN sys.trace_columns AS tcolumn ON tcolumn.trace_column_id = tdef.columnid

WHERE t.is_default = 1 --default trace

AND t.status= 1 --running

ORDER BY TraceFilePath ,

EventCategory ,

EventClassName ,

ColumnName ;

thanks
