I am using Alerts with Errors 18450, 18452, 18456 on SQL 2K/NT 4.0 Server.
On the same computer I am logging with SQL Authentication using non-existing SQL accounts.
Alerts are NOT fired!!!???
Yes, Login attempts are logged and could be seen in Events viewer and in SQL Server Error Log.
I can run a job (every 15-30 minutes) querying SQL Server Error Log and based on entries there issue a NET Send or other commands.
But I need to get an immediate response, which was not happened.
I was using All available Audit Level and non of the above worked.
Also is there a better way to get immediate response on unauthorized access using generic SQl Server tools.
Thank you
