Dear All,

Is there any method to monitor the size of log files in SQL Server 2000?
If yes how?

Thanks

You can use sp_helpfile to get a listing of all files (data and log) in
the current database.

Is there any way to send it the information to my email automatically?

hi,
Yes. You can send the information to your e-mail address automatically.

For that you need to register your e-mail address in the SQL Server.
Create a scheduled job that executes sp_helpfile and sedn the result to
desired e-mail address

I believe this answers your question

thanks and regards
Chandra

Use SQL Agent Alerts to watch the Performance Monitor counters that track
file size, and when the log crosses a threshold that you define, SQL Server
Agent can take predetermined actions such as running a script to increase the
log size, sending you email, or shrinking the file.

Sorry I posted this answer on the other question you asked about log files.
