Integration Services (SSIS) Logging

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

SQL Server Integration Services includes log providers that you can use to implement logging in packages, containers, and tasks. With logging, you can capture run-time information about a package, helping you audit and troubleshoot a package every time it is run. For example, a log can capture the name of the operator who ran the package and the time the package began and finished.

You can configure the scope of logging that occurs during a package execution on the Integration Services server. For more information, see Enable Logging for Package Execution on the SSIS Server.

You can also include logging when you run a package using the dtexec command prompt utility. For more information about the command prompt arguments that support logging, see dtexec Utility.

Configure Logging in SQL Server Data Tools

Logs are associated with packages and are configured at the package level. Each task or container in a package can log information to any package log. The tasks and containers in a package can be enabled for logging even if the package itself is not. For example, you can enable logging on an Execute SQL task without enabling logging on the parent package. A package, container, or task can write to multiple logs. You can enable logging on the package only, or you can choose to enable logging on any individual task or container that the package includes.

When you add the log to a package, you choose the log provider and the location of the log. The log provider specifies the format for the log data: for example, a SQL Server database or text file.

Integration Services includes the following log providers:

  • The Text File log provider, which writes log entries to ASCII text files in a comma-separated value (CSV) format. The default file name extension for this provider is .log.

  • The SQL Server Profiler log provider, which writes traces that you can view using SQL Server Profiler. The default file name extension for this provider is .trc.

    Note

    You cannot use the SQL Server Profiler log provider in a package that is running in 64-bit mode.

  • The SQL Server log provider, which writes log entries to the sysssislog table in a SQL Server database. You may experience decreased performance if you log to a system database such as master or msdb. A good practice is to create a separate database for Integration Services logging.

  • The Windows Event log provider, which writes entries to the Application log in the Windows Event log on the local computer.

  • The XML File log provider, which writes log files to an XML file. The default file name extension for this provider is .xml.

If you add a log provider to a package or configure logging programmatically, you can use either a ProgID or ClassID to identify the log provider, instead of using the names that SSIS Designer displays in the Configure SSIS Logs dialog box.

The following table lists the ProgID and ClassID for the log providers that Integration Services includes, and the location of the logs to which log providers write.

Log provider ProgID ClassID Location
Text file DTS.LogProviderTextFile {0A039101-ACC1-4E06-943F-279948323883} The File connection manager that the log provider uses specifies the path of the text file.
SQL Server Profiler DTS.LogProviderSQLProfiler {E93F6300-AE0C-4916-A7BF-A8D0CE12C77A} The File connection manager that the log provider uses specifies the path of the file used by SQL Server Profiler.
SQL Server DTS.LogProviderSQLServer {94150B25-6AEB-4C0D-996D-D37D1C4FDEDA} The OLE DB connection manager that the log provider uses specifies the SQL Server database that contains the sysssislog table with the log entries.
Windows Event Log DTS.LogProviderEventLog {071CC8EB-C343-4CFF-8D58-564B92FCA3CF} The Application log in Windows Event Viewer contains the Integration Services log information.
XML File DTS.LogProviderXMLFile {440945A4-2A22-4F19-B577-EAF5FDDC5F7A} The File connection manager that the log provider uses specifies the path of the XML file.

You can also create custom log providers. For more information, see Creating a Custom Log Provider.

The log providers in a package are members of the log providers collection of the package. When you create a package and implement logging by using SSIS Designer, you can see a list of the collection members in the Log Provider folders on the Package Explorer tab of SSIS Designer.

You configure a log provider by providing a name and description for the log provider and specifying the connection manager that the log provider uses. The SQL Server log provider uses an OLE DB connection manager. The Text File, SQL Server Profiler, and XML File log providers all use File connection managers. The Windows Event log provider does not use a connection manager, because it writes directly to the Windows Event log. For more information, see OLE DB Connection Manager and File Connection Manager.

Logging Customization

To customize the logging of an event or custom message, Integration Services provides a schema of commonly logged information to include in log entries. The Integration Services log schema defines the information that you can log. You can select elements from the log schema for each log entry.

A package and its containers and tasks do not have to log the same information, and tasks within the same package or container can log different information. For example, a package can log operator information when the package starts, one task can log the source of the task's failure, and another task can log information when errors occur. If a package and its containers and tasks use multiple logs, the same information is written to all the logs.

You can select a level of logging that suits your needs by specifying the events to log and the information to log for each event. You may find that some events provide more useful information than others. For example, you might want to log only the computer and operator names for the PreExecute event but all available information for the Error event.

To prevent log files from using large amounts of disk space, or to avoid excessive logging, which could degrade performance, you can limit logging by selecting specific events and information items to log. For example, you can configure a log to capture only the date and the computer name for each error.

In SSIS Designer, you define the logging options by using the Configure SSIS Logs dialog box.

Log Schema

The following table describes the elements in the log schema.

Element Description
Computer The name of the computer on which the log event occurred.
Operator The identity of the user who launched the package.
SourceName The name of the container or task in which the log event occurred.
SourceID The unique identifier of the package; the For Loop, Foreach Loop, or Sequence container; or the task in which the log event occurred.
ExecutionID The GUID of the package execution instance.

Note: Running a single package might create log entries with different values for the ExecutionID element. For example, when you run a package in SQL Server Data Tools, the validation phase might create log entries with an ExecutionID element that corresponds to SQL Server Data Tools. However, the execution phase might create log entries with an ExecutionID element that corresponds to dtshost.exe. For another example, when you run a package that contains Execute Package tasks, each of these tasks runs a child package. These child packages might create log entries that have a different ExecutionID element than the log entries that the parent package creates.
MessageText A message associated with the log entry.
DataBytes A byte array specific to the log entry. The meaning of this field varies by log entry.

The following table describes three additional elements in the log schema that are not available on the Details tab of the Configure SSIS Logs dialog box.

Element Description
StartTime The time at which the container or task starts to run.
EndTime The time at which the container or task stops running.
DataCode An optional integer value that typically contains a value from the DTSExecResult enumeration that indicates the result of running the container or task:

0 - Success

1 - Failure

2 - Completed

3 - Canceled

Log Entries

Integration Services supports log entries on predefined events and provides custom log entries for many Integration Services objects. The Configure SSIS Logs dialog box in SSIS Designer lists these events and custom log entries.

The following table describes the predefined events that can be enabled to write log entries when run-time events occur. These log entries apply to executables, the package, and the tasks and containers that the package includes. The name of the log entry is the same as the name of the run-time event that was raised and caused the log entry to be written.

Events Description
OnError Writes a log entry when an error occurs.
OnExecStatusChanged Writes a log entry when a task (not a container) is suspended or resumed during debugging.
OnInformation Writes a log entry during the validation and execution of an executable to report information.
OnPostExecute Writes a log entry immediately after the executable has finished running.
OnPostValidate Writes a log entry when the validation of the executable finishes.
OnPreExecute Writes a log entry immediately before the executable runs.
OnPreValidate Writes a log entry when the validation of the executable starts.
OnProgress Writes a log entry when measurable progress is made by the executable.
OnQueryCancel Writes a log entry at any juncture in the task processing where it is feasible to cancel execution.
OnTaskFailed Writes a log entry when a task fails.
OnVariableValueChanged Writes a log entry when the value of a variable changes.
OnWarning Writes a log entry when a warning occurs.
PipelineComponentTime For each data flow component, writes a log entry for each phase of validation and execution. The log entry specifies the processing time for each phase.
Diagnostic

DiagnosticEx
Writes a log entry that provides diagnostic information.

For example, you can log a message before and after every call to an external data provider. For more information, see Troubleshooting Tools for Package Execution.

Log the DiagnosticEx event when you want to find the column names for columns in the data flow that have errors. This event writes a data flow lineage map to the log. You can then look up the column name in this lineage map by using the column identifier captured by an error output. For more info, see Error Handling in Data.

Note that the DiagnosticEx event does not preserve whitespace in its XML output to reduce the size of the log. To improve readability, copy the log into an XML editor - in Visual Studio, for example - that supports XML formatting and syntax highlighting.

Note: If you log the DiagnosticEx event with the SQL Server log provider, the output may be truncated. The message field of the SQL Server log provider is of type nvarchar(2048). To avoid truncation, use a different log provider when you log the DiagnosticEx event.

The package and many tasks have custom log entries that can be enabled for logging. For example, the Send Mail task provides the SendMailTaskBegin custom log entry, which logs information when the Send Mail task starts to run, but before the task sends an e-mail message. For more information, see Custom Messages for Logging.

Differentiating Package Copies

Log data includes the name and the GUID of the package to which the log entries belong. If you create a new package by copying an existing package, the name and the GUID of the existing package are also copied. As a result, you may have two packages that have the same GUID and name, making it difficult to differentiate between the packages in the log data.

To eliminate this ambiguity, you should update the name and the GUID of the new packages. In SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), you can regenerate the GUID in the ID property and update the value of the Name property in the Properties window. You can also change the GUID and the name programmatically, or by using the dtutil command prompt. For more information, see Set Package Properties and dtutil Utility.

Parent Logging Options

Frequently, the logging options of tasks and For Loop, Foreach Loop, and Sequence containers match those of the package or a parent container. In that case, you can configure them to inherit their logging options from their parent container. For example, in a For Loop container that includes an Execute SQL task, the Execute SQL task can use the logging options that are set on the For Loop container. To use the parent logging options, you set the LoggingMode property of the container to UseParentSetting. You can set this property in the Properties window of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) or through the Configure SSIS Logs dialog box in SSIS Designer.

Logging Templates

In the Configure SSIS Logs dialog box, you can also create and save frequently used logging configurations as templates, and then use the templates in multiple packages. This makes it easy to apply a consistent logging strategy across multiple packages and to modify log settings on packages by updating and then applying the templates. The templates are stored in XML files.

To configure logging using the Configure SSIS Logs dialog box

  1. Enable the package and its tasks for logging. Logging can occur at the package, the container, and the task level. You can specify different logs for packages, containers, and tasks.

  2. Select a log provider and add a log for the package. Logs can be created only at the package level, and a task or container must use one of the logs created for the package. Each log is associated with one of the following log providers: Text file, SQL Server Profiler, SQL Server, Windows Event Log, or XML file. For more information, see Enable Package Logging in SQL Server Data Tools.

  3. Select the events and the log schema information about each event you want to capture in the log. For more information, see Configure Logging by Using a Saved Configuration File.

Configuration of Log Provider

You can set properties through SSIS Designer or programmatically.

A log provider is created and configured as a step in implementing logging in a package.

After you create a log provider, you can view and modify its properties in the Properties window of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

For information about programmatically setting these properties, see the documentation for the LogProvider class.

Logging for Data Flow Tasks

The Data Flow task provides many custom log entries that can be used to monitor and adjust performance. For example, you can monitor components that might cause memory leaks, or keep track of how long it takes to run a particular component. For a list of these custom log entries and sample logging output, see Data Flow Task.

Capture the names of columns in which errors occur

When you configure an error output in the data flow, by default the error output provides only the numeric identifier of the column in which the error occurred. For more info, see Error Handling in Data.

You can find column names by enabling logging and selecting the DiagnosticEx event. This event writes a data flow lineage map to the log. You can then look up the column name from its identifier in this lineage map. Note that the DiagnosticEx event does not preserve whitespace in its XML output to reduce the size of the log. To improve readability, copy the log into an XML editor - in Visual Studio, for example - that supports XML formatting and syntax highlighting.

Use the PipelineComponentTime Event

Perhaps the most useful custom log entry is the PipelineComponentTime event. This log entry reports the number of milliseconds that each component in the data flow spends on each of the five major processing steps. The following table describes these processing steps. Integration Services developers will recognize these steps as the principal methods of a PipelineComponent.

Step Description
Validate The component checks for valid property values and configuration settings.
PreExecute The component performs one-time processing before it starts to process rows of data.
PostExecute The component performs one-time processing after it has processed all rows of data.
ProcessInput The transformation or destination component processes the incoming rows of data that an upstream source or transformation has passed to it.
PrimeOutput The source or transformation component fills the buffers of data to be passed to a downstream transformation or destination component.

When you enable the PipelineComponentTime event, Integration Services logs one message for each processing step performed by each component. The following log entries show a subset of the messages that the Integration Services CalculatedColumns package sample logs:

The component "Calculate LineItemTotalCost" (3522) spent 356 milliseconds in ProcessInput.

The component "Sum Quantity and LineItemTotalCost" (3619) spent 79 milliseconds in ProcessInput.

The component "Calculate Average Cost" (3662) spent 16 milliseconds in ProcessInput.

The component "Sort by ProductID" (3717) spent 125 milliseconds in ProcessInput.

The component "Load Data" (3773) spent 0 milliseconds in ProcessInput.

The component "Extract Data" (3869) spent 688 milliseconds in PrimeOutput filling buffers on output "OLE DB Source Output" (3879).

The component "Sum Quantity and LineItemTotalCost" (3619) spent 141 milliseconds in PrimeOutput filling buffers on output "Aggregate Output 1" (3621).

The component "Sort by ProductID" (3717) spent 16 milliseconds in PrimeOutput filling buffers on output "Sort Output" (3719).

These log entries show that the data flow task spent the most time on the following steps, shown here in descending order:

  • The OLE DB source that is named "Extract Data" spent 688 ms. loading data.

  • The Derived Column transformation that is named "Calculate LineItemTotalCost" spent 356 ms. performing calculations on incoming rows.

  • The Aggregate transformation that is named "Sum Quantity and LineItemTotalCost" spent a combined 220 ms-141 in PrimeOutput and 79 in ProcessInput-performing calculations and passing the data to the next transformation.

Enable Package Logging in SQL Server Data Tools

This procedure describes how to add logs to a package, configure package-level logging, and save the logging configuration to an XML file. You can add logs only at the package level, but the package does not have to perform logging to enable logging in the containers that the package includes.

Important

If you deploy the Integration Services project to the Integration Services server, the logging level that you set for the package execution overrides the package logging that you configure using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

By default, the containers in the package use the same logging configuration as their parent container. For information about setting logging options for individual containers, see Configure Logging by Using a Saved Configuration File.

To enable logging in a package

  1. In SQL Server Data Tools, open the Integration Services project that contains the package you want.

  2. On the SSIS menu, click Logging.

  3. Select a log provider in the Provider type list, and then click Add.

  4. In the Configuration column, select a connection manager or click <New connection> to create a new connection manager of the appropriate type for the log provider. Depending on the selected provider, use one of the following connection managers:

    • For Text files, use a File connection manager. For more information, see File Connection Manager

    • For SQL Server Profiler, use a File connection manager.

    • For SQL Server, use an OLE DB connection manager. For more information, see OLE DB Connection Manager.

    • For Windows Event Log, do nothing. SSIS automatically creates the log.

    • For XML files, use a File connection manager.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each log to use in the package.

    Note

    A package can use more than one log of each type.

  6. Optionally, select the package-level check box, select the logs to use for package-level logging, and then click the Details tab.

  7. On the Details tab, select Events to log all log entries, or clear Events to select individual events.

  8. Optionally, click Advanced to specify which information to log.

    Note

    By default, all information is logged.

  9. On the Details tab, click Save. The Save As dialog box appears. Locate the folder in which to save the logging configuration, type a file name for the new log configuration, and then click Save.

  10. Click OK.

  8. To save the updated version of the logging configuration, click Save.

  9. To save the updated package, click Save Selected Items on the File menu.

Enable Logging for Package Execution on the SSIS Server

This topic describes how to set or change the logging level for a package when you run a package that you have deployed to the Integration Services server. The logging level you set when you run the package overrides the package logging you configure at design time in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). See Enable Package Logging in SQL Server Data Tools for more information.

To review and adjust a server's default logging level property

  1. In the SQL Server instance, go to the package in Object Explorer.

  2. Select Integration Services Catalog.

  3. Right-click SSISDB and select Properties.

  4. In Catalog Properties, look for the Operations Log group box and the Service-Wide Default Logging Level entry.

You can pick from one of the built-in logging levels described in this topic, or you can pick an existing customized logging level. The selected logging level applies by default to all packages deployed to the SSIS Catalog. It also applies by default to a SQL Agent job step that runs an SSIS package.

You can also specify the logging level for an individual package by using one of the following methods. This topic covers the first method.

  • Configuring an instance of a package execution by using the Execute Package dialog box

  • Setting parameters for an instance of an execution by using the catalog.set_execution_parameter_value (SSISDB Database)

  • Configuring a SQL Server Agent job for a package execution by using the New Job Step dialog box.

Set the logging level for a package by using the Execute Package dialog box

  1. In SQL Server Management Studio, navigate to the package in Object Explorer.

  2. Right-click the package and select Execute.

  3. Select the Advanced tab in the Execute Package dialog box.

  4. Under Logging level, select the logging level. This topic contains a description of available values.

  5. Complete any other package configurations, then click OK to run the package.

Select a logging level

The following built-in logging levels are available. You can also select an existing customized logging level. This topic contains a description of customized logging levels.

Logging Level Description
None Logging is turned off. Only the package execution status is logged.
Basic All events are logged, except custom and diagnostic events. This is the default value.
RuntimeLineage Collects the data required to track lineage information in the data flow. You can parse this lineage information to map the lineage relationship between tasks. ISVs and developers can build custom lineage mapping tools with this information.
Performance Only performance statistics, and OnError and OnWarning events, are logged.

The Execution Performance report displays Active Time and Total Time for package data flow components. This information is available when the logging level of the last package execution was set to Performance or Verbose. For more information, see Reports for the Integration Services Server.

The catalog.execution_component_phases view displays the start and end times for the data flow components, for each phase of an execution. This view displays this information for these components only when the logging level of the package execution is set to Performance or Verbose.
Verbose All events are logged, including custom and diagnostic events.

Custom events include those events that are logged by Integration Services tasks. For more information about custom events, see Custom Messages for Logging.

An example of a diagnostic event is the DiagnosticEx event. Whenever an Execute Package task executes a child package, this event captures the parameter values passed to child packages.

The DiagnosticEx event also helps you to get the names of columns in which row-level errors occur. This event writes a data flow lineage map to the log. You can then look up the column name in this lineage map by using the column identifier captured by an error output. For more info, see Error Handling in Data.

The value of the message column for DiagnosticEx is XML text. To view the message text for a package execution, query the catalog.operation_messages (SSISDB Database) view. Note that the DiagnosticEx event does not preserve whitespace in its XML output to reduce the size of the log. To improve readability, copy the log into an XML editor - in Visual Studio, for example - that supports XML formatting and syntax highlighting.

The catalog.execution_data_statistics view displays a row each time a data flow component sends data to a downstream component, for a package execution. The logging level must be set to Verbose to capture this information in the view.

Create and manage customized logging levels by using the Customized Logging Level Management dialog box

You can create customized logging levels that collect only the statistics and events that you want. Optionally you can also capture the context of events, which includes variable values, connection strings, and component properties. When you run a package, you can select a customized logging level wherever you can select a built-in logging level.

Tip

To capture the values of package variables, the IncludeInDebugDump property of the variables must be set to True.

  1. To create and manage customized logging levels, in SQL Server Management Studio, right-click on the SSISDB database and select Customized Logging Level to open the Customized Logging Level Management dialog box. The Customized Logging Levels list contains all the existing customized logging levels.

  2. To create a new customized logging level, click Create, and then provide a name and description. On the Statistics and Events tabs, select the statistics and events that you want to collect. On the Events tab, optionally select Include Context for individual events. Then click Save.

  3. To update an existing customized logging level, select it in the list, reconfigure it, and then click Save.

  4. To delete an existing customized logging level, select it in the list, and then click Delete.

Permissions for customized logging levels.

  • All users of the SSISDB database can see customized logging levels and select a customized logging level when they run packages.

  • Only users in the ssis_admin or sysadmin role can create, update, or delete customized logging levels.

Custom Messages for Logging

SQL Server Integration Services provides a rich set of custom events for writing log entries for packages and many tasks. You can use these entries to save detailed information about execution progress, results, and problems by recording predefined events or user-defined messages for later analysis. For example, you can record when a bulk insert begins and ends to identify performance issues when the package runs.

The custom log entries are a different set of entries than the set of standard logging events that are available for packages and all containers and tasks. The custom log entries are tailored to capture useful information about a specific task in a package. For example, one of the custom log entries for the Execute SQL task records the SQL statement that the task executes in the log.

All log entries include date and time information, including the log entries that are automatically written when a package begins and finishes. Many of the log events write multiple entries to the log. This typically occurs when the event has different phases. For example, the ExecuteSQLExecutingQuery log event writes three entries: one entry after the task acquires a connection to the database, another after the task starts to prepare the SQL statement, and one more after the execution of the SQL statement is completed.

The following Integration Services objects have custom log entries:

Package

Bulk Insert Task

Data Flow Task

Execute DTS 2000 Task

Execute Process Task

Execute SQL Task

File System Task

FTP Task

Message Queue Task

Script Task

Send Mail Task

Transfer Database Task

Transfer Error Messages Task

Transfer Jobs Task

Transfer Logins Task

Transfer Master Stored Procedures Task

Transfer SQL Server Objects Task

Web Services Task

WMI Data Reader Task

WMI Event Watcher Task

XML Task

Log Entries

Package

The following table lists the custom log entries for packages.

Log entry Description
PackageStart Indicates that the package began to run. This log entry is automatically written to the log. You cannot exclude it.
PackageEnd Indicates that the package completed. This log entry is automatically written to the log. You cannot exclude it.
Diagnostic Provides information about the system configuration that affects package execution such as the number executables that can be run concurrently.

The Diagnostic log entry also includes before and after entries for calls to external data providers.

Bulk Insert Task

The following table lists the custom log entries for the Bulk Insert task.

Log entry Description
DTSBulkInsertTaskBegin Indicates that the bulk insert began.
DTSBulkInsertTaskEnd Indicates that the bulk insert finished.
DTSBulkInsertTaskInfos Provides descriptive information about the task.

Data Flow Task

The following table lists the custom log entries for the Data Flow task.

Log entry Description
BufferSizeTuning Indicates that the Data Flow task changed the size of the buffer. The log entry describes the reasons for the size change and lists the temporary new buffer size.
OnPipelinePostEndOfRowset Denotes that a component has been given its end-of-rowset signal, which is set by the last call of the ProcessInput method. An entry is written for each component in the data flow that processes input. The entry includes the name of the component.
OnPipelinePostPrimeOutput Indicates that the component has completed its last call to the PrimeOutput method. Depending on the data flow, multiple log entries may be written. If the component is a source, this means that the component has finished processing rows.
