How do I find running Traces in SQL Server?

Question

Is there an easy way to determine what traces have been set up by sp_trace_create on SQL Server 2000? How about for SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2012, or 2014?

Answer 1

SQL Server 2005 (onwards):

    SELECT * FROM sys.traces

SQL Server 2000 :

    USE msdb
    SELECT * FROM fn_trace_getinfo(default);

Ref: fn_trace_getinfo

Column descriptions for sys.traces DMV can be found here: sys.traces

Answer 2

Old question, but a precisation. On a SQL 2000 server you must use msdb database. Es:

USE msdb
SELECT * FROM :: fn_trace_getinfo(default)
