I have a SQL server 2016 server that uses Ola Hallengren's Maintenance solution,
Yesterday I got an alert SQL Server Alert System: '016 - Miscelaneous User Error that says:
DESCRIPTION: ExtendDisk Backup: failure on backup device'G:\Backup\Myservername01\MyDBName\FULL\SNOCECMSQP01_MYDB_FULL_20180624_000141.bak'.Operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the disk.).

But I cannot find the error in my CommandLog table.
I thought it will record a message in the table. Did I miss something?
Thanks,

You need to enable the logging using the @LogToTable parameter. The default for that is 'N', you need to set it to 'Y'

Thanks, I checked in the job we do set up to log into the table.

And later found is someone worked on Sunday did a manual backup, he probably did not use the log into table parameter.

Someone needs to have a serious talk with that person and, perhaps, the whole group. No one, not even another DBA, should be doing ad hoc backups without doing things like checking for diskspace prior to backups and they certainly shouldn't be doing something manual when a system like Ola's is in play. And, If it wasn't a DBA that did the nasty, then you have much bigger problems with your security.

She is working to setup a content manage system with a vendor off hour. the vendor probably did a full backup before he is doing the upgrade, that is sending alert to me. She also happen to be the security manager..and she likes to work independently 🙂

So what? She's not exempt and someone needs to call her out on it. It would seem she likes to work independently because she doesn't want to have to explain her poor habits. 😉 A security manager should know better.
