Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace Namespace

The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace namespace contains the Microsoft SQL Server Trace and Replay objects.

The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace provides an interface for reading trace data from files, tables or rowsets.

The Trace and Replay objects can be used to

  • Trace and record events on an instance of SQL Server.

  • Manipulate and analyze trace data.

  • Replay recorded trace events on an instance of SQL Server.

The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Trace namespace can be found in the Microsoft.SqlServerConnectionInfo.dll file.

In addition to the Trace and Replay objects, SQL Server traces can be implemented manually using Microsoft SQL Server Profiler Reference or using a set of Transact-SQL stored procedures called Introducing SQL Trace.

Note The Trace and Replay objects are not supported on a 64-bit platform.

Classes

Class Description
ReplayEventArgs The ReplayEventArgs object provides programmatic access to the arguments used to report events that occur when replaying trace on an instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
SqlTraceException The SQLTraceException class represents the general exception raised by the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) trace objects.
SqlTraceFailToInstantiateTypeException The SQLTraceFailToInstantiateTypeException class represents the exception raised when a SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) trace object operation fails to instantiate an object.
SqlTraceFailToLoadInstAPIAssemblyException The SQLTraceFailToLoadInstAPIAssemblyException class represents the exception raised by the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) trace objects when an Inst API assembly fails to load.
TraceEventArgs The TraceEventArgs object provides programmatic access to the arguments used to report events that occur when collecting trace from an instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
TraceFile The TraceFile class is a Trace object that represents a trace log file.
TraceReader The TraceReader class is an abstract Trace Object class that is used in the construction of the TraceServer class, the TraceTable class, and the TraceFile class.
TraceReaderWriter The TraceReaderWriter class is an abstract Trace Objects class that is used in the construction of the TraceTable class and the TraceFile class.
TraceReplay The TraceReplay object is a Replay object that represents the replay operation for trace log files and trace tables.
TraceReplayOptions The TraceReplayOptions object is a Replay object that represents the configuration settings required when replaying a trace.
TraceServer The TraceServer class is a Trace object that represents a new trace on an instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
TraceTable The TraceTable class is a Trace object that represents a table of trace information.

Interfaces

Interface Description
