Question

Looking for a stored procedure to monitor size of Transaction Log file

SQL Server transaction logs, SQL Server stored procedures, SQL Server availability

Is there any way I can create a stored procedure which will check for the Transaction Log file size - where we have a specified limit to grow - and if the Log file reached 80 percent of total size, email alerts can be sent to DBAs?

Yes you can monitor this by looking at the size column in the sysfiles table (SQL 7/2000) or the sys.database_files DMV (SQL 2005+). This column is in pages, so take this number and multiply by 8 to get the file size in Kb. Then divide by 1024 to get Megs. Then if the value is over the preset value use xp_Sendmail of sp_send_dbmail to email the alert.
