Configuring Logging Options - (SSIS Logging and Auditing)

Syntax

<SSIS Package LoggingOptions >
   <SYNCHRONIZED Name = "Boolean">...</SYNCHRONIZED> 
   <LogProviders>
      <SQLServer Name = "String">
         <ServerName>...</ServerName>
         <InitialCatalog>...</InitialCatalog>
         <UserName>...</UserName>
         <Password>...</Password>
         <SelectedColumns>...</SelectedColumns>
         <UseWindowsAuthentication>...</UseWindowsAuthentication>
      </SQLServer>
   </LogProviders>
</SSIS Package LoggingOptions>

Explanation

SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) logging and auditing enables you to log the details of an SSIS package run, providing information on successful or failed operations, any unexpected package behaviors, and other issues that may arise. This information can be used to troubleshoot package failures, track packages over time, and provide compliance or auditing information.

SSIS logging can be configured in a number of ways, including using the built-in logging functionality or through custom logging using coding and third-party tools.

Example

<SSIS Package LoggingOptions>
   <SYNCHRONIZED Name="false" />
   <LogProviders>
      <SQLServer Name="Log to SQL Server">
         <ServerName>MyServer</ServerName>
         <InitialCatalog>LoggingDB</InitialCatalog>
         <UserName>sqluser</UserName>
         <Password>mypassword</Password>
         <SelectedColumns>*</SelectedColumns>
         <UseWindowsAuthentication>False</UseWindowsAuthentication>
      </SQLServer>
   </LogProviders>
</SSIS Package LoggingOptions>

Output

Once logging has been configured, the SSIS package will generate logs for each execution, with detailed information about all tasks, data flows, and control flow elements utilized within the package.

Use

SSIS logging and auditing can be used to track package performance and behavior over time, troubleshoot failures or unexpected behaviors, identify and address bottlenecks within package execution, and provide compliance or auditing information.

Important Points

• SSIS logging can be configured using the built-in logging functionality or through custom logging using coding and third-party tools.
• Logging options include logging to a SQL Server database, text files, XML files, Windows event logs, or custom providers.
• SSIS logging can be used to track package performance and behavior over time, troubleshoot failures or unexpected behaviors, identify and address bottlenecks within package execution, and provide compliance or auditing information.
