SQL Server: Observing Log File size in SQL Server – Percentage Full of each log

Dear All,

You can use DBCC SQLPERF(‘logspace’) command to observe the Log File size:

DBCC SQLPERF('logspace')

The output is as follows:

1_Observing_Log_File_size_in_SQL_Server_Percentage_Full_of_each_log

But its hard to filter the data here. So we can use the DMV sys.dm_os_performance_counters as follows:

SELECT instance_name as [DBName],
cntr_value as "LogFullPercentage"
FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters
WHERE counter_name LIKE 'Percent Log Used%'
AND instance_name not in ('_Total', 'mssqlsystemresource')

Here is the output:

   

2_Observing_Log_File_size_in_SQL_Server_Percentage_Full_of_each_log

And you can filter the way you want. More techniques welcomed.
