Today, we’ve got a big one, and it’s all thanks to you.
For the last couple of versions, I haven’t added any big features because I’d been focused on the plan cache improvements. Today, though, we’ve got a big one with all kinds of health-checking improvements – and they’re all thanks to your contributions.
- Lori Edwards @LoriEdwards http://sqlservertimes2.com – Did all the coding in this version! She did a killer job of integrating improvements and suggestions from all kinds of people.
- Chris Fradenburg @ChrisFradenburg http://www.fradensql.com – added a check to identify globally enabled traceflags
- Jeremy Lowell @DataRealized http://datarealized.com added a check for non-aligned indexes on partitioned tables
- Paul Anderton @Panders69 added a check for high VLF count
- Ron van Moorsel tweaked and added a couple of checks including whether tempdb was set to autogrow, and checking for linked servers configured with the SA login
- Shaun Stuart @shaunjstu http://shaunjstuart.com added several changes – the much-desired check for the last successful DBCC CHECKDB, checking ot make sure that @@SERVERNAME is not null, and updated check 1 to make sure the backup was done on the current server
- Sabu Varghese fixed a typo in check 51
- We added a check to determine if a failsafe operator has been configured
- Added a check for transaction log files larger than data files suggested by Chris Adkins
- Fixed a bunch of bugs for oddball database names (like apostrophes).
Here’s how to use it:

Thanks as always, looking forward to testing. Ran into an issue last week where I needed to get the DBCC info, wrote my own script, and was looking for was to integrate it with sp_blitz. Beat me to it.
VLF appears to only be checking for where it is a snapshot?
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.sys.databases
WHERE source_database_id is not null)
Hi Todd – thanks for checking the details! Another user caught that and we’ve uploaded new code. The current version is v15. Updates came fast & furious this morning!
‘Last good DBCC CHECKDB over 2 weeks old’ is not working here on MSSQL 2008 R2.

Also, is there a reason for missing NO_INFOMSGS on DBCC DBINFO?
WQW – ooo, nice code contribution! I love that, nice work. I’m adding that to v15 and crediting you. I’m aiming to have it out this week – got a whole bunch of code contributions.
Hi Brent
Thanks for the great content and interesting articles.
I removed the below from facebook. Thought would be better to add it here.
When I clicked on the short link you provided on facebook, I am getting this message:

Not sure if it’s just my connection. but thought to let you know, maybe you can double check.

Hi, Alin. Doh, sorry about that – where’s the link on Facebook? (We’ve got a lot of links, sadly.)
No problem.

This is the link that appears on your wall post about sp_blitz.
It appears that has been reported by FB users as abuse. Pasting the address in the browser, works.
Thanks for this great stuff! Very helpful!
Awesome work, I am using this on my 90 servers to clean up some oddities that have been found.
