How do I find running Traces in SQL Server?

Question

Is there an easy way to determine what traces have been set up by sp_trace_create on SQL Server 2000? How about for SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2012, or 2014?

Answer 1

SQL Server 2005 (onwards):

    SELECT * FROM sys.traces 

SQL Server 2000 :

    USE msdb     SELECT * FROM fn_trace_getinfo(default); 

Ref: fn_trace_getinfo

Column descriptions for sys.traces DMV can be found here: sys.traces
