Hi Brian, great article. Quick question from somebody that never used SQL Profiler before. Is this better to be used for ad-hoc situations where you would need to see in that moment who is logged on? or it can be used as a auditing tool where you set the traces and leave it collecting the data and then later on we go there and check the info generated? I think what I'm trying to ask if this can be run like a service or you would be to logged on at that moment to run the trace to see the results?

thanks in advance and sorry if this is not the right place to ask this dummy questions.
