Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. The Scripting Wife and I have been in a number of email threads with Mark Schill, the leader of the Atlanta Windows PowerShell User Group, and the person in charge of putting together Windows PowerShell Saturday #003 in Atlanta (Alpharetta, Georgia) this Saturday, October 27, 2012. He has an Xbox to give away, as well as a truckload of swag from an amazing raft of sponsors. Tickets are still available for this five-star event. I am making a couple of presentations, along with some other awesome speakers. With three tracks—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—there will be something for everyone.

PoSh DBA - Reading and Filtering Errors 10 January 2014The PoSh DBA - Reading and Filtering ErrorsDBAs regularly need to keep an eye on the error logs

With SQL Server, we have two major sources of information for doing this: the SQL Server Error Log and the Event Viewer. When a problem occurs in SQL Server, ranging from a logon failure to a severe error in database mirroring, the first place to look for more information is the SQL Server Error Log. Similarly, if we have a problem related to physical hardware, the disk for example, we will look in the Event Viewer.

Foreach($ExcludeText in $exclude){ $r = $r | ? {$_.text -notmatch $ExcludeText} } Foreach($IncludeText in $find){ $r = $r | ?{$_.text -match $IncludeText} } share|improve this answer edited Nov 27 '13 at 17:35 answered Nov 27 '13 at 16:39 malexander 2,7591532 Thanks, but the find and exclude arrays may grow, I'm wondering how to do it with the array, any ideas on that? –Mark Allison Nov 27 '13 at 16:43 I added another example that I think hits closer to what you are asking. –malexander Nov 27 '13 at 17:36 ad
I will ask is “what’s the error message?” Error logs and messages are extremely helpful, even if they feel vague. Because of this, it is vital to know how to leverage the error logs in SQL Server whenever you are troubleshooting an issue. The challenge is managing these logs efficiently and parsing them in a effective way. Powershell can offer some useful tools for reading and manipulating your logs, especially if you want to collect information across multiple SQL Server instances. I’m not the first person to write about these methods. Buck Woody(@BuckWoodyMSFT) covers the basic method well and Allen White(@SqlRunr) has his own post that goes into more detail. I want to provide a little more information and expand on how it can be useful to you. Getting Started Reading SQL Server error logs is pretty simple, but requires us to make use of the SMO objects and the .ReadErrorLog() method to get the data from the log. Let’s start by simply reading the SQL Server error log and see what the output looks like (I’ll be using the SQL Server provider for this): (Get-Item SQLSERVER:\SQL\localhost\DEFAULT).ReadErrorLog() Nothing too surprising here, so let’s dig a little deeper. As I reiterate whenever I talk to folks about Powershell, everything is a .Net object. With this in mind, let’s see what we’re dealing with: $log = (Get-Item SQLSERVER:\SQL\localhost\DEFAULT).ReadErrorLog() $log | Get-Member Look at the output’s data type, which is a System.Data.DataRow object. This is useful to us because it is a strongly typed object, not just a collection of strings, giving us better access to the data within the log. Now we can access the properties of the output and our data directly. Notice the highlighted properties, which are the output columns. Let’s leverage these properties to filter our data: $log | Where-Object {$_.Text -like '*Startup*'} | Sort-Object LogDate | Format-List Text What’s going on here? First off, we take the object and filter out only rows where the Text column/property v
