Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.AuditFileSizeUnit
An AuditFileSizeUnit value specifying the type of the maximum audit file size.

Remarks

The MaximumFileSizeUnit property specifies whether the maximum size of the audit log file can be measured in megabytes, gigabytes, or terabytes. When the audit is created, it defaults to the megabytes setting.

Examples

The following code example shows how to set the maximum file type size of the audit log file to gigabytes.

C#

using System;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;

namespace samples
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create the audit 
            Server dbServer = new Server("(local)");
            Audit dbAudit = new Audit(dbServer, "Test Audit");
            dbAudit.DestinationType = AuditDestinationType.File;
            dbAudit.FilePath = "C:\\AuditDirectory";
            dbAudit.Create();

            //Set the audit file size unit
            dbAudit.MaximumFileSizeUnit = AuditFileSizeUnit.Gb;  
        }
    }
}

Powershell

#Create the audit 
$dbServer = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$dbAudit = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Audit($dbServer, "Test Audit")
$dbAudit.DestinationType = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.AuditDestinationType]'File'
$dbAudit.FilePath = "C:\AuditDirectory"
$dbAudit.Create()

#Set the audit file size units
$dbAudit.MaximumFileSizeUnit = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.AuditFileSizeUnit]'Gb'
