-- Get socket, physical core and logical core count from the SQL Server Error log. (Query 2) (Core Counts)
-- This query might take a few seconds depending on the size of your error log
EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'detected', N'socket';
------

-- This can help you determine the exact core counts used by SQL Server and whether HT is enabled or not
-- It can also help you confirm your SQL Server licensing model
-- Be on the lookout for this message "using 40 logical processors based on SQL Server licensing" 
-- (when you have more than 40 logical cores) which means grandfathered Server/CAL licensing
-- This query will return no results if your error log has been recycled since the instance was last started



-- Get selected server properties (Query 3) (Server Properties)

-- clr enabled (only enable if it is needed)
-- cost threshold for parallelism (depends on your workload)

-- priority boost (should be zero)
-- remote admin connections (should be 1)


-- Returns a list of all global trace flags that are enabled (Query 5) (Global Trace Flags)
DBCC TRACESTATUS (-1);
------

-- If no global trace flags are enabled, no results will be returned.
-- It is very useful to know what global trace flags are currently enabled as part of the diagnostic process.
