filegroup auto-growth - know when it happens?

Hey guys,

I'm running SQLServer 2000. I am in the process of looking over our current filegroups and providing reports based on file size increases.

One thing I'd like to know is when (date and time) a filegroup last "auto-grew". Is there a way to know when this occurs?

thanks,

Jason

Derek,

Thanks for the info. I should have re-worded my question I think:

Is there a way to know when the date/time a filegroup last auto-resized? Let's say it auto-resized last friday, is this timestamp stored somewhere? Profiler would tell me only if I was running it at the time of the resize.

I'm trying to correlate the time of an error with the last time a large filegroup resized.

thanks

Jason

Thanks for the info. Appreciate the help.
