• Adam,

    Nice article. According to BOL you should use sys.traces instead of fn_trace_getinfo. Here is the BOL quote:

    The sys.traces catalog view contains the current running traces on the system. This view is intended as a replacement for the fn_trace_getinfo function.

    Also if you disable this trace many of the reports available in SSMS will no longer work as they get much of their information from this trace.
