Location of output file from C2 auditing

  • I enabled my SQL Server 2000 to use C2 auditing. I would like to take a look at the file it generates. BOL says the location should be in the \MSSQL\Data directory for default instances, but I see nothing there besides by database files. Does anyone know what this file would be named or what file type it would be?

  • Did you stop and restart the SQL Server service?

  • The service has been stopped by rebooting (our network admin needed to put on some patches) several times since I turned on the C2 option.

  • I would verify whether C2 auditing is enabled.

  • You're right - it is not actually running. I thought I had configured it properly but I guess I didn't. Now I feel silly. But what format would the file be in? Is it .trc?

  • It is trace file with date and time, such as audittrace_20031208144551.trc.
