Trace SQL Alert

  • Hi,

    How do I trace alerts coming from unknown AD account from SQL Server ?

    Thanks,

    PSB

  • Alerts? I'm not sure what you mean there.

    Do you mean attempts at connections or failures at connections?

    If so, the best tool you have for that in SQL Server 2014 is Extended Events. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for from the question, but I'd start with the audit login event.

  • Alerts :When an SSIS package that is executed as SQL Job fail , users are receiving an alert from test@xyz.com

    How can I investigate that ? When I look at Database Mail configured that email doesn't even exist.

    Ah, well, what process is calling the SSIS package? If it's SQL Agent, look there and see how it's configured. It doesn't have to be a user on the server.

  • Could be a "send mail task" within the SSIS package. Check for a SMTP connection which will have that email address specified in the "from" box.

  • Thanks!. That was it .

  • Good stuff, glad I could help
