[SQL Server 2008 issues] Monitoring Connections to Databases


Monitoring Connections to Databases

Posted: 17 Aug 2010 12:48 AM PDT

Hi - I have a task to provide a list of applications that connect to one of my databases. I'd like to setup a monitor for a week time so that I have a window. I know I can go in to Activity Monitor and manually see this. But is there a built in funtion or a script I can write to be able to log all connections to this specific database? I'm running SQL 2005.Thank you,Kevin OkonSr. Systems EngineerPCB Piezotronics, Inc.
