Sql Server 2k Auditing

Oct 20, 2007

I'm wanting to do some auditing with sql 2k and wish to get the users first and last name of the windows account to log into a table. You can easily access the windows account name by using the System_User keyword. However, is it possible to get the first and last name of the system_user? If so, how?

Thanks.

SQL Server Auditing

Mar 13, 2008

Does anyone have a query to determine if auditing is turned on and what it is set to (It needs to be set to failed logins)? Also where the log directory is going? I need the query to work on both SQL Server 2000 and 2005 servers. Any help is appreciated.

SQL 2000 Server C2 Auditing Setup

May 5, 2008

Below is a script I found that will help me turn on C2 auditing. The problem is that I am generating trace files that take up way too much space.

I need to know what column id and event id, so I am only turning on "failed login" and nothing else.

exec sp_trace_setevent @TraceID, x, x, @on




Code Snippet

-- filename prefixed by a path, eg.. c:MyFolderMyTrace. The .trc extention
-- will be appended to the filename automatically. If you are writing from
-- remote server to local crive, please use UNC path and make sure server has
-- write access to your network share

declare @cmd sysname

set @cmd = 'copy c: empsessiontrace.trc c: empsession' + cast(cast(rand() * 1000000 as int) as varchar)

set @cmd = 'del c: empsessiontrace.trc'
print @cmd
exec master..xp_cmdshell @cmd

exec @rc = sp_trace_create @TraceID output, 2, N'c: empsessiontrace.trc', @maxfilesize, null
if (@rc != 0) goto error

-- Client side file and table cannot be scripted

Auditing SQL Server 2005 Through Transaction Log

Jun 4, 2007

Hello,



We are maintaining an internal ASP.NET v2.0 website which is quite big and already in production. The underlying SQL Server 2005 database contains 350+ tables.



Recently, we have been asked to implement a new feature which seems functionally quite simple. We have to track every single data modification, which includes insertions, deletions and modifications. This information should be presented to power users in the form of readable strings right in an admin section of our website.



Our team of architects is working on a way to make it possible without putting the SQL Server to a crawl. One thing is for sure, SQL Server 2005 already does the job through its transaction log. It should be a good idea to use it directly instead of managing our own log based on triggers. Why put more pressure on the server to write data that is already logged by the database engine? We have heard that Microsoft's SQL Server team do not support this concept and are wondering why...



It's quite easy to find queries on the web that output very useful information such as date of transactions and what they have done. Although, the data involved in those transactions seems to be stored in a binary field which can be retrived using this query: SELECT "log record" FROM ::fn_dblog(null,null)



3rd parties such as Apex SQL are already doing a great job at decrypting it for us. This is very useful but not efficient since those tools do a very generic job. We would like to optimize it for our needs. All we need to know is who made the modifications, when, in which tables and what are the new values.



We believe that we would have to decrypt the "log record" field from the ::fn_dblog(null, null) table. Is there any way to get basic documentation about how to do it?





Thanks!

Trace Auditing For ( New Records And Updates For A Particular Date) - SQL Server 2000 Sp4

Apr 26, 2007

Hi,


I have few tables. I want to identify the RECORDS for a table which has been created/modified for a particular date and time. I don't want to write a trigger to capture the event for add/update.



Is there any system table which track for date and time using stored procedure each individual records which has been last updated or newly created records??



Note : The application already created without lastModified date and each table... so, we don't want to modify the application or db.

Database : SQL Server 2000 sp4



thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2014 :: Best Way To Pull Login Data For Auditing System Wide?

May 29, 2015

I am trying to import this years worth of failed logins and last successful login for each user out of the logs using master.dbo.xp_readerrorlog. The script essentially loops through the linked servers I have on my DBA box and reaches out for the log data. It works, but here is the error I am getting on most of our production servers:

OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "AWSCADENCEDB01" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".

Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 17
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "AWSCADENCEDB01" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

I know how to enable distributed transactions on the servers that error out, but if it is not needed for anything other then my audit script, I doubt the business will approve me turning on distributed transactions at those locations (so I am not even going to ask).

I am attempting to setup a singular audit .rdl with the information I want to review quarterly.

CREATE PROC [dbo].[Import_Login_Data]
AS
IF EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM master.sys.servers
WHERE is_linked = 1

Auditing DB Changes

Sep 1, 2005

It seems to me there are two common strategies for doing DB audit trails via a trigger:

1. On an update to a row, duplicate that row in another table with
identical rows, except for perhaps the extra columns which represent
change date and changed by. Eg. When there is an update to the Customer
table, record the changes in Customer_Audit.

2. On an update to a row, check which fields were updated. Then in a
common audit table record the table, row ID, field, previous value and
new value of the field.

I'm wondering about the pros and cons of each. More specifically, do
the pros and cons change if you are using an O/R mapper (I'm using
NHibernate.)

Some thoughts on method 1 . It seems nice for an O/R mapper, since you
could have, say, a CustomerAudit Object inherit from your Customer
object and just add the properties change date and changed by. A
problem with this is you're going to add a whole lot of objects - one
for each object which you want to audit. Another drawback is that it
could be difficult to generate a history for a particular property
which was updated. Let's say I want to see the history of changes to
the customer's status. I have to load a collection of CustomerAudit
objects (which could be costly). Then I have to iterate through them
and compare the status properties to generate a history of statuses.
This is a pretty labor instensive method if you compare it to method 2,
where the change is recorded by field, not row.

Some thoughts on method 2. It's nice since the changes are by field,
not row, which (as above) makes generating a history easy. On the other
hand, you can never have a snapshot of a particular object at a
particular point in time. Moreover, I'm not sure how foreign keys would
be handled elegantly. I record that customer.statusID changes from 3 to
6. I'd have to do a seperate join to the customerstatus table to get
meaning for 3 and 6 (which method 1 would do automatically).

Thoughts? Any preferred way to do this with an O/R mapper?

Thanks

Auditing

Aug 31, 2007

Guys,

We looking to audit tables in the database. In the tables auditing needs to be done only on few columns not all the columns. Is there any 3rd party tool available to do it can it auditing be done on columns only with sql server 2005. Trigger doesnt work in this scenario as it works per row it does not say which column in the row was updated/inserted/deleted.

For example in the below employee table, I want to audit(history) only ssn and dob columns - all the updates/inserts/deletes made to this column should be audited.

MSSQL 6.5 Auditing

Oct 20, 1999

Hi folks. I am a new DBA and working on taking over several existing MSSQL 6.5 applications.

My company needs to be able to audit the following actions on MSSQL.

login
logout
insert into specific tables
update in specific tables
delete from specific tables

I am looking for a 3rd party product that provides these services for SQL 6.5. I have found Braintree products and they have really nice auditing but for Oracle and not MSSQL. I have also looking into using triggers to build an audit log for me but the applications we are using require periodic updates that would force me to rebuild the triggers. This may cause too much administrativia.

Any Ideas?

Thanks, Aaron

Best Way Of Auditing Data

Oct 10, 2007



Hello
I am more of a reporting person, recently I was asked to create stored procedure for an upcoming ASP.NET
application.
We have a problem that we are facing and any suggestion would be very helpfull.

The problem is that we have like 8 differtent tables each with 10 to 15 columns in it.
The front end application has pages with save , update , delete button which are insert,update,delete
for each of the 8 tables
i.e they save , update , delete these 8 tables

They want to a way to Update , this audit table which stores information
like ---

Date
User
Table
Column name
Previous column name
new column name

So for each row that was updated in those 8 tables , each column will have the above fields updated as a row of data

Initially we thought about triggers but it will be like 60 triggers ...Is there a better or other way of handling this?



Any help is appreciated
Thanks
