| How can I set the Profiler to minimize its impact on the production? I am running Profiler on another server connected to my production. Is this true that if I use any third party utilities to monitor (and log trace) the production, I would expect the same impact as Profiler? If not, I like to hear about it and your experience with it.Thanks,Canada DBA |

There usually isn't that much impact from running Profiler on another server. Watch the network outbound queue length if you have a slow connection. You can run some pretty hefty traces though and not incur much CPU, memory, or disk overhead. It depends on the third-party application for your other question.  I would NEVER run Profiler directly on the production server itself.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
