ssrstracelog-review

ssrstracelog-review is a skill for Claude Code from vanterx/mssql-performance-skills. It costs 188 tokens per session (7,818 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Microsoft’s system for creating and delivering database reports. It examines trace logs, configuration files, execution records, and Windows event entries to diagnose report-server problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate startup failures, database connection errors, memory pressure, report-processing failures, delivery problems, and scale-out deployment issues.
Why use it?
It brings together related diagnostic evidence when reports fail, run slowly, subscriptions do not deliver, or the server cannot start or connect to its database.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ssrstracelog-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/collect-ssrs-diagnostics.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SSRS Trace Log Review Skill

Purpose

Analyze SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) diagnostic artifacts to find why a report server fails to start, can't reach its report server database, runs reports slowly or aborts them, drops subscription deliveries, or fails to join a scale-out deployment. Applies 24 checks (G1–G24) across six categories:

  • G1–G4 — Trace configuration and log health: DefaultTraceSwitch level, file size and retention settings, restart/recycle frequency visible in trace file rollover, and stale component-level trace overrides
  • G5–G9 — Startup and report server database connectivity: rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable, rsReportServerDatabaseLogonFailed, rsErrorOpeningConnection sub-causes, orphaned database pointers, and rsServerConfigurationError
  • G10–G13 — Memory pressure and AppDomain recycling: MemorySafetyMargin / MemoryThreshold / WorkingSetMaximum configuration, hard recycles from memory allocation failures, and RecycleTime / MaxAppDomainUnloadTime tuning
  • G14–G18 — Report processing and rendering: ExecutionLog3 time-phase breakdown, legacy processing engine usage, rsProcessingAborted and error statuses, and external image fetch latency
  • G19–G21 — Subscriptions and delivery: file share and email delivery extension failures, and subscription scheduling clustering
  • G22–G24 — Scale-out and encryption keys: rsInvalidReportServerDatabase after upgrade, rskeymgmt -j join failures, and missing symmetric key backups

This skill is the SSRS counterpart to sqlerrorlog-review (Database Engine ERRORLOG) — use both together when SSRS symptoms trace back to the report server database engine.

Input

Accept any of:

  • Trace log excerptsReportServerService_<timestamp>.log or (SSRS 2017+) Microsoft.ReportingServices.Portal.WebHost_<timestamp>.log content, pasted as text. Lines follow the format <component>!<thread>!<pid>!<MM/DD/YYYY-HH:MM:SS> <severity> <LEVEL>: <message> (e.g. library!WindowsService_10!4c7c!05/24/2016-01:05:06 e ERROR: ...)
  • ReportingServicesService.exe.config excerpts — the DefaultTraceSwitch value (in the <system.diagnostics><switches> block) plus the <RStrace> section (FileName, FileSizeLimitMb, KeepFilesForDays, TraceListeners, TraceFileMode, and the Components setting that carries per-component trace overrides)
  • RSReportServer.config excerpts — the <Service> section (MemorySafetyMargin, MemoryThreshold, WorkingSetMaximum, WorkingSetMinimum, RecycleTime, MaxAppDomainUnloadTime, PollingInterval, MaxQueueThreads, UrlRoot)
  • ExecutionLog3 query output — results of SELECT * FROM ExecutionLog3 ORDER BY TimeStart DESC against the report server database
  • Windows Application Event Log entries for source "Report Server Windows Service" or "ReportServer" (commonly Event ID 107 and related startup/connectivity events)
  • A natural-language description ("SSRS shows 'report server can't open a connection to the report server database' after a restart")

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
