existing server side traces

  • I've found some traces running on our server.  I'd like to find out where they are saving the file or table to.  how can I do this?  All I've found so far is how to change the status etc. using the sp_trace_setstatus and other sp's.

    thanks

    sam

  • ask whoever set the traces ?

    select * from :: fn_trace_getinfo(default)

  • thanks - after looking more closely i see why I missed it.  There are nulls in the filename field - so these traces are not being saved to a file.  thanks Carl.
