PowerShell - Check Backups

I wrote this script a while ago and have been meaning to publish it for others to use. It's pretty straight forward, just put in a Server\Instance and it will use SMO to check the Agent Job status, let you know if the Backup Job is running, or what the last outcome was. Then it queries the instance to see the last backup dates. We want daily backups, so we are interested in the hours since last backup occurred, so that is the final column for easy reference. The only thing you will need to tweak is the function that gets the Agent Job info. We have a specific naming convention that we use for all our backup jobs, if you do the same, you will need to edit the "WHERE" clause to meet your naming needs...perhaps simply $._Name -match "Backup" will work for you.

You can see that we have broken out the query to check msdb for last backup info into three different queries, based on if the server is 2000, 2005 or 2008+ This is done due to the differences in views with the different versions.

SQL Saturday 175 is this weekend!

I'm pretty excited about the SQL Saturday in Fargo this weekend. I've spent a lot of time polishing my presentation on Table Partitioning and getting it all ready for this event. I'm looking forward to spending some time with several SQL Friends, and hopefully meeting some cool SQL people from the Fargo area. All-in-all, this should be a fantastic weekend.

SQL 2012 Extended Event Wizard Question

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to translate my 2008 R2 Extended Events into the GUI for 2012. Most of it seems pretty straight forward, but I'm having an issue how to put the values from the WHERE clause into the GUI.

Here is my query (which works in 2012, if I simply execute it)

IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM sys.server_event_sessions WHERE name='MonitorExpensiveQuery') 
 DROP EVENT SESSION MonitorExpensiveQuery ON SERVER 
GO 
--Creating a Extended Event session with CREATE EVENT SESSION command 
CREATE EVENT SESSION MonitorExpensiveQuery ON SERVER 
ADD EVENT sqlserver.sql_statement_completed 
( 
 ACTION 
 ( 
        sqlserver.client_app_name
        ,sqlserver.client_hostname
        ,sqlserver.username
        ,sqlserver.nt_username
        ,sqlserver.session_id
        ,sqlserver.sql_text
 ) 
 WHERE (
   duration > 3000000
   OR cpu_time > 1000
   OR reads > 10000
   OR writes > 10000
  )
)
,ADD EVENT sqlserver.sp_statement_completed 
( 
 ACTION 
 ( 
        sqlserver.client_app_name
        ,sqlserver.client_hostname
        ,sqlserver.username
        ,sqlserver.nt_username
        ,sqlserver.session_id
        ,sqlserver.sql_text
 ) 
 WHERE (
   duration > 3000000
   OR cpu_time > 1000
   OR reads > 10000
   OR writes > 10000
  )
)
ADD TARGET package0.ring_buffer WITH (MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY = 1 SECONDS, STARTUP_STATE = ON) -- The target
GO

ALTER EVENT SESSION MonitorExpensiveQuery ON SERVER STATE = START
GO

So I kick off the GUI and the first few pages seem pretty straight forward...Add my Session name:

Choose to not use a template:

Select the Events:

Select the Actions:

But when I get to the Filter page, which I am guessing is the equivalent of the "WHERE" caluse, I don't see any of my fields (duration, cpu_time, reads or writes):

So I'm unsure how to properly set this up. Any help appreciated
