MS-SQL-Server command line profiler

sql_profiler is a simple and fast replacement for SQL Server Profiler.
It's a .NET-Core command-line port of ExpressProfiler, and runs everywhere .NET Core runs. So it runs on

• Windows (x86-32, x86-64)
• Linux (x86-64, ARM-32)
• Mac/OS-X.

It's a fork of ExpressProfiler for MS-SQL-Server (actually a fork of a slightly modified version - working datetime-format for any language).
I used it to port ExpressProfiler to .NET Core (command-line).

sql_profiler can be used with both Express and non-Express editions of SQL Server 2005/2008/2008r2/2012/2014.
Installation or administrative rights are not required.
Trace permission are required for the SQL-user.

Invocation

./sql_profiler --server {computername\instance} --username WebAppWebServices --password TOP_SECRET --db "The DB you want to profile";

or from the project:

dotnet run sql_profiler --server {computername\instance} --username WebAppWebServices --password TOP_SECRET --db "The DB you want to profile";

If you omit the username, it will attempt to connect with integrated security.

Grant rights:

-- To Grant access to a Windows Login
USE Master;
GO
GRANT ALTER TRACE TO [DomainNAME\WindowsLogin]
GO

-- To Grant access to a SQL Login
USE master;
GO
GRANT ALTER TRACE TO manvendra
GO
