SQL Trace on SQL 2005. Performance hit?

[KentSaunders]

Does RSA have any metrics around how much of a performance hit MSSQL server takes when the SQL traces are enabled?

I know, it depends, but say we use the latest default .sql file provided by RSA, newer hardware,  working under a 50% performance load now and the server maintains a large, busy database. 

Thanks,

I don't have any numbers, but I will tell you that we modified the sql script to only log those events that were necessary so that we didn't have to worry about taking a performance hit.  The standard script can have a major performance hit...I have seen it spew millions of events a day.  So, I would suggest that you go through the script and selectively audit.

are the 44 exec statements in the event IDs the fields in the message log? Yes, i agree, i see millions of event id existiong connection 17. what did you decide to audit in the end?
