Log operations in Analysis Services SQL Server 2016 Other Versions SQL Server 2014 SQL Server 2012 Applies To: SQL Server 2016An Analysis Services instance will log server notifications, windows 7 error logs errors, and warnings to the msmdsrv.log file – one for each instance you install. Administrators refer to this log for insights into routine and extraordinary events alike. In recent releases, logging has been enhanced to include more information. Log records now include product version and edition information, as well as processor, memory, connectivity, and blocking events. You can review the entire change list at Logging improvements.Besides the built-in logging feature, many administrators and developers also use tools provided by the Analysis Services community to collect data about server operations, such as ASTrace.

Is there any way to maintain error logs (like in ssis) on cubes? sql-server error-handling analysis services error ssas share|improve this question asked Oct 22 '12 at 8:44 Sandeep Pulikonda 1992521 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted The key mechanisms for maintaining error logs for Analysis Services are to either: Keep track of the data stored in the msmdsrv.log. It will be necessary to copy the log off before it gets overwritten. If you are using Analysis Services 2005, 2008, or 2008 R2, you can generate your own trace events as noted in the System-wide Trace file section of the post Analysis Services Processing Best Practces at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966525.aspx#EBAA If you are using SQL Server 2012, you can use the XEvents feature as noted in the SSAS documentation Use SQL Server Extended Events (XEvents) to Monitor Analysis Services at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492139.aspx Another approach is to use the SQL Server Profiler runnning in the background so that way you can record all events. But this would be similar to the #2 option. Also note that the #3 option (using XEvents) has the least impact on your Analysis

I was able to get a copy of the log file saved off to an alternate location and open it in WordPad (Notepad, Word, etc.. said the file was too large). It appears this log has been churning along for almost 4 years without a problem. But now the problem is that it is too big. The msmdsrv.ini file doesn't appear to have a setting for rolling over the log or limiting it's size. What is the best approach to preventing this from happening in the future? How do you properly manage your Analysis Services log file? sql-server-2008-r2 ssas share|improve this question asked Nov 13 '14 at 21:46 Geoff Dawdy 3921422 On unix/linux we normally use logrotate. I am sure there are ports for windows environment. I think that could help you. –Raj Jan 12 '15 at 17:07 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted +50 You can't recycle the SSAS log in a similar manner to SQL Server. You need to do this manually by building a script and then scheduling it to run either inside of SQL Agent or Windows Task Scheduler. Here is a sample Powershell script you can use: [Reflec
