PowerShell Check File Modified Time

2015-04-08 / PowerShell Scripting / Tim van Kooten Niekerk

Script to check is a specific file exists and its modified time is less than 1 day in the past. This script uses some custum functions from a imported module.

# Import DBA modules...
Import-Module 'D:\Path\To\DefaultFunctionsModule.psm1'

# Global config settings...
[string]$sSubject1 = "SBO:CheckLogFiles Errors Found..."
[string]$sSMTPServer1 = "smtp.example.com"
[string]$sToAddress1 = "mail@example.com"
[string]$sEventLogSource = "{eventlogsource}"

# Functions en Procedures...
function fnGetFileModTime([string]$sFileName) {
  $vFileInfo = get-childitem $sFileName
  return $vFileInfo.lastwritetime 
}

# Start Main script...
if ((Test-Path $args[0]) -and ($args[1])) {
  # Request file modified time...
  [datetime]$dFileModTime = fnGetFileModTime("$($args[0])")
  # Alert if file modified time is older than 1 day...
  if ((Get-date).AddDays(-1) -gt $dFileModTime) {
  $sMessage1 = "ERROR: File modified time is older than 1 day...`r`n`r`nFilename: " + $args[0] + "`r`nService: " + $args[1]
  fnWriteEventLog -sNode (fnGetFQDN) -sMessage $sMessage1
  fnSendMail -sSMTPSrvrName $sSMTPServer1 -sFrom (fnGetFQDN -swIsEmail) -sTo $sToAddress1 -sSubject $sSubject1 -sBody $sMessage1
  }
} else {
  if (($args[1])) {
    # Alert if file does not exist...
    $sMessage1 = "ERROR: File does not exist...`r`n`r`nFilename: " + $args[0] + "`r`nService: " + $args[1]
    fnWriteEventLog -sNode (fnGetFQDN) -sMessage $sMessage1
    fnSendMail -sSMTPSrvrName $sSMTPServer1 -sFrom (fnGetFQDN -swIsEmail) -sTo $sToAddress1 -sSubject $sSubject1 -sBody $sMessage1
  } else {
      $sMessage1 = "ERROR: Missing argument... [CheckModTime.ps1 `"c:\path\to\file`" `"service`"]`r`n`r`nFilename: " + $args[0]  + "`r`nService: " + $args[1]    
      echo $sMessage1
  }
}

PowerShell Grep Recent Logfiles

File Search

MSSQL List Active DBFiles

2011-08-26 / MSSQL Server / Tim van Kooten Niekerk

Met behulp van de volgende query kun je een overzicht opvragen van alle actieve bestanden eventueel kun je een WHERE clause opnemen (WHERE type_desc = ‘LOG|ROWS’) om alleen de logbestanden of alleen de data bestanden weer te geven.

SELECT smf.physical_name, sdb.name as database_name
FROM sys.master_files smf
LEFT JOIN sys.databases sdb on sdb.database_id = smf.database_id
--WHERE type_desc = 'LOG'
ORDER BY smf.physical_name

MSSQL DBFile SpaceUsed

Script to return database file usage (GB) from a database.

USE [DATABASE]
GO
SELECT DBFiles.fileid as FileID,
       DBFiles.filename as FileName,
       DBFiles.name as Name,
       CONVERT(decimal(18,3),ROUND(((CAST(FILEPROPERTY(DBFiles.Name, 'SpaceUsed') AS decimal) * 8) /1024 /1024), 3)) AS SpaceUsedGB, 
       CONVERT(decimal(18,3),ROUND(((CAST(DBFiles.size AS decimal) * 8) /1024 /1024), 3)) AS FileSizeGB

MSSQL Log space used percentage

2010-04-09 / MSSQL Server / Tim van Kooten Niekerk

Met onderstaande T-SQL kun je de vulling in procent van het transaction log bestand van een specifieke database opvragen en monitoren. Dit is alleen handig in specifieke situaties. Bij een correct database onderhoudsplan zal dit niet nodig zijn.

CREATE TABLE #tTLSpace 
( 
DBName sysname, 
TLSize decimal(18,5), 
TLUsed decimal(18,5), 
status INT 
)
GO

INSERT INTO #tTLSpace 
       exec ('DBCC SQLPERF(logspace)') 
GO

DECLARE @dTLUsed decimal
SELECT @dTLUsed = TLUsed from #tTLSpace WHERE DBName = 'DATABASE'
IF ( @dTLUsed > 90)
BEGIN
  PRINT @dTLUsed
  PRINT 'TransactionLog bestand 90 procent vol...'
END
GO

DROP TABLE #tTLSpace 
GO
