I have a Server level Audit running and informational messages are continuously placed in the SQL Error log (every hour):
02/06/2020 22:05:43,spid96,Unknown,Audit: Server Audit: 66026 Session has been closed 02/06/2020 22:05:43,spid96,Unknown,Audit: Server Audit: 66026 State changed from: STARTED to: SHUTTING_DOWN 02/06/2020 21:17:55,spid72,Unknown65976,Audit: Server Audit: 66026 Initialized and Assigned State: STARTED 02/06/2020 21:17:55,spid72,Unknown,Audit: Server Audit: 6602665976, Initialized and Assigned State: START_FAILED 02/06/2020 21:17:55,spid72,Unknown,Audit: Server Audit: 6602565975 Session has been closed 02/06/2020 21:17:55,spid72,Unknown,Audit: Server Audit: 6602565975, State changed from: STARTED to: SHUTTING_DOWN My
My question is, why does this happen and more important can this be prevented (while continuing the audit)?
