MSSQL Log Truncation

Post by martinjp »

Hi,

Can anyone explain this counter in detail? I have been unable to find documentation on why a value of say '50' is bad and why '0' is considered OK.

It is not necessarily 'bad', i', '50' is just the default threshold. Depending on your environment, this alert could be be anything from benign to mission critical. This is a better question for you MSSQL admins, as they know the environment and the average rate of logging.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately it didn't help however I did find the cause. The 'initial size' setting of the log file was too low therefore the log was being truncated as it was above 70% capacity.
