FlightRecorderCurrent.trc

Question

We're getting tons of these errors in the event viewer.  What is causing this issue?

 

An error occurred while writing a trace event to the file, \\?\F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP\Log\FlightRecorderCurrent.trc.

Answer 1

Hi,

The Flight Recorder trace enabled by default in OLAP works like a black box in a plane. It records all activity when running. Likely the drive where the trace is stored might be full or no permissions to the location for the service.

It is a booleen server property you can enable and disable.
