Auditing database activities manually is a Herculean task. The best way to accomplish auditing effectively is with a comprehensive solution that simplifies and automates database monitoring. The solution should also enable database administrators to monitor, track, and instantly identify the root cause of any operational issues as well as detect unauthorized access to confidential data in real time.
ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is SQL database monitoring software that enables you to seamlessly collect, monitor, and analyze Microsoft SQL Server logs, helping bolster your security against potential risks.
EventLog Analyzer helps you proactively audit SQL Server logs
Monitoring Microsoft SQL Server logs
EventLog Analyzer is a comprehensive Microsoft SQL database monitoring tool that helps you monitor all database activities, access attempts, and server account changes in your Microsoft SQL Server database. It automatically discovers all the SQL servers present in your network.
Beyond monitoring, EventLog Analyzer tracks changes made at the database's structural level, such as changes to the tables, views, procedures, triggers, schema, and more. With intuitive graphical reports, get the details of who made a specific change, when it was made, and its origin. Our solution also reports on successful and failed logon events.

Auditing SQL Server DDL and DML activities
EventLog Analyzer offers prebuilt alerts that notify you of critical database issues. You can drill down to the raw log level and view collected log content to facilitate simplified root cause analysis. Perform audits with prepackaged reports that provide detailed information on data definition language (DDL) and data manipulation language (DML) queries. With EventLog Analyzer's database reports, you can:
- Audit functional-level activities within your database.
- Determine when functional queries are executed, who initiated them, and their origin.
- Instantly track all change activities, from data views and updates to deletions and additions of entries in your confidential data.
- Get real-time email or SMS notifications on any modifications to DDL or DML, account changes, and more.

Auditing SQL Server accounts
Managing and auditing SQL Server accounts is critical to setting up authorizations for resources both inside and outside of your database. EventLog Analyzer simplifies your database account management with real-time alerts and predefined reports so you can:
- Track every change made to any account, with respect to the users, logons and logoffs, passwords, and more.
- Know when a privileged account is created, deleted, or modified.
- Audit logon and logoff activities and learn the reasons behind logon failures.
- Instantly know when the password of a critical account gets changed.

Generating extensive SQL Server reports
Many enterprises use SQL servers to store their customers' personal data. EventLog Analyzer offers several reports to help you stay on top of critical changes performed on your SQL servers. With EventLog Analyzer's on-the-fly reports:
- Quickly audit Microsoft SQL Server activities, such as startups, shutdowns, logons, and logon failures.
- Track modifications to columns with sensitive information, monitoring each user's existing permissions and security changes on SQL Server.
- Record the last login time of each user accessing SQL Server.
- Get detailed information on database backups, restorations, audits, audit specifications, administrator authorities, and more.

Enabling robust correlation and SQL Server log searching
Enterprises seeking connections among diverse logs from multiple sources can rely on EventLog Analyzer's advanced correlation capabilities. With EventLog Analyzer, you can:
- Use its correlation engine to effectively identify predefined attack patterns within SQL logs.
- Explore chronological logs associated with detected attack patterns for a comprehensive understanding.
- Set specific constraints on log fields to gain knowledge on identified attack patterns.
Additionally, the tool features a specialized log data search segment, enabling you to swiftly pinpoint raw SQL logs, network irregularities, application glitches, and more.

Frequently asked questions
SQL Server logs are records of activities and events within a Microsoft SQL Server database system. The different types of SQL Server logs are:
- Transaction logs: These track all changes made to the database.
- Error logs: These show the critical errors and exceptions encountered in the SQL Server instance.
- SQL Server agent logs: These handle scheduled jobs, alerts, and other automated tasks.
- Database backup and restore logs: These show the successful and failed backup operations.
- Profiler and extended event logs: These allow you to capture and analyze events in real time.
- Windows event logs: These provide information about server startup and shutdown as well as security-related activities.
Granular auditing of user data on Microsoft SQL Server is crucial not only for the swift detection of and response to security incidents but also for retracing an attacker's steps in the worst-case scenario of a data breach. Through Microsoft SQL Server auditing, you can learn the frequency of logon activities within your database, visualize any patterns in logon failures, and ensure your data and system remain protected at all times.
EventLog Analyzer helps mitigate external and internal security breaches with detailed reports and real-time alerts. The solution helps with SQL Server management and keeps you well-informed about various potential security attacks on your database.
