contents with the Log File Viewer. In a previous tip "Simple way to find errors in SQL Server error log" you discussed a method https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187885(v=sql.105).aspx of searching the error log using VBScript. Are there any other easy ways to search and find errors in the error log files? SolutionSQL Server 2005 offers an undocumented system stored procedure sp_readerrorlog. This SP allows you to read the contents of the SQL Server error log files https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1476/reading-the-sql-server-log-files-using-tsql/ directly from a query window and also allows you to search for certain keywords when reading the error file. This is not new to SQL Server 2005, but this tip discusses how this works for SQL Server 2005. This is a sample of the stored procedure for SQL Server 2005. You will see that when this gets called it calls an extended stored procedure xp_readerrorlog. CREATE PROC [sys].[sp_readerrorlog](
@p1 INT = 0,
@p2 INT = NULL,
@p3 VARCHAR(255) = NULL,
@p4 VARCHAR(255) = NULL)

More > Error Logs ProblemWhen managing SQL Server there are so many different places to look for data. These include the error logs, system event logs, profiler data, performance counter data, etc... Once you have collected the data you then need to parse https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1307/simple-way-to-find-errors-in-sql-server-error-log/ through and interpret the data you collected. One of these areas where errors and other informational data is stored is the SQL Server error log. The problem with the error log file is that there is so much data collected it http://sqlmag.com/blog/how-prevent-enormous-sql-server-error-log-files is sometimes hard to determine where the real errors lie. By default all backups and integrity checks are logged in the error log. In addition, if you are auditing logins these messages are also stored in the error log, so this sql error further compounds the problem. It is great to have all of this data, but trying to find your problems can become quite a chore. So how can you find the errors much easier? SolutionWith SQL Server 2005 Microsoft has made this a bit easier to set filters, but this is still pretty cumbersome and does not really provide you all of the data you need. The best approach as with many things is to build your own data parser and that is what sql error log we did using Windows Scripting and VBScript. Here is a simple view of the Error Log as it normally displays: Here is a simple view of the Error Log after only the errors have been parsed out. As you can see this new version is much easier to read and also only shows you the errors instead of all that additional informational data that is stored in the error logs. In addition, it shows you all of the error lines at the particular time the error occurred, so you do not need to go back to the error log to get the additional error lines. Setting it up Below is a VBScript that allows you to parse out the error messages. It is not the most elegant piece of code, but it does work. The script takes two arguments: logType - 2000 (SQL 2000) or 2005 (SQL 2005) fileName - name and path of the file that you want to parse This could be called from a command line such as the following. ParseLog.vbs "2005" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG.5" Before you can use this, you need to save the following code into a new file called "ParseLog.vbs". Once you have done this you are ready to roll. This code will read the file that you specify and will create a secondary file using the same name and appending a "2" at the end of the file name.
