function Watch-DbaDbLogin { <# .SYNOPSIS Tracks SQL Server logins: which host they came from, what database they're using, and what program is being used to log in. .DESCRIPTION Watch-DbaDbLogin uses SQL Server DMV's to track logins into a SQL Server table. This is helpful when you need to migrate a SQL Server and update connection strings, but have inadequate documentation on which servers/applications are logging into your SQL instance. Running this script every 5 minutes for a week should give you a sufficient idea about database and login usage. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server that stores the Watch database. .PARAMETER SqlCms Specifies a Central Management Server to query for a list of servers to watch. .PARAMETER ServersFromFile Specifies a file containing a list of servers to watch. This file must contain one server name per line. .PARAMETER Database The name of the Watch database. .PARAMETER Table The name of the Watch table. By default, this is DbaTools-WatchDbLogins. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Login Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT Requires: sysadmin access on all SQL Servers for the most accurate results .LINK https://dbatools.io/Watch-DbaDbLogin .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Watch-DbaDbLogin -SqlInstance sqlserver -SqlCms SqlCms1 A list of all database instances within the Central Management Server SqlCms1 is generated. Using this list, the script enumerates all the processes and gathers login information and saves it to the table Dblogins in the DatabaseLogins database on SQL Server sqlserver. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Watch-DbaDbLogin -SqlInstance sqlcluster -Database CentralAudit -ServersFromFile .\sqlservers.txt A list of servers is gathered from the file sqlservers.txt in the current directory. Using this list, the script enumerates all the processes and gathers login information and saves it to the table Dblogins in the CentralAudit database on SQL Server sqlcluster. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Watch-DbaDbLogin -SqlInstance sqlserver -SqlCms SqlCms1 -SqlCredential $cred A list of servers is generated using database instance names within the SQL2014Clusters group on the Central Management Server SqlCms1. Using this list, the script enumerates all the processes and gathers login information and saves it to the table Dblogins in the DatabaseLogins database on sqlserver. #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory)] [DbaInstance]$SqlInstance, [object]$Database, [string]$Table = "DbaTools-WatchDbLogins", [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, # Central Management Server [string]$SqlCms, # File with one server per line [string]$ServersFromFile, [switch]$EnableException ) process { if (Test-Bound 'SqlCms', 'ServersFromFile' -Not) { Stop-Function -Message "You must specify a server list source using -SqlCms or -ServersFromFile" return } try { $serverDest = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $SqlInstance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $SqlInstance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $SqlInstance -Continue } $systemdbs = "master", "msdb", "model", "tempdb" $excludedPrograms = "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query", "SQL Management" <# Get servers to query from Central Management Server or File #> if ($SqlCms) { try { $servers = Get-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance $SqlCms -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -EnableException } catch { Stop-Function -Message "The CMS server, $SqlCms, was not accessible." -Target $SqlCms -ErrorRecord $_ return } } if (Test-Bound 'ServersFromFile') { if (Test-Path $ServersFromFile) { $servers = Get-Content $ServersFromFile } else { Stop-Function -Message "$ServersFromFile was not found." -Target $ServersFromFile return } } <# Process each server #> foreach ($instance in $servers) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 9 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } if (!(Test-SqlSa $server)) { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "Not a sysadmin on $instance, resultset would be underwhelming.
