log" you discussed a method 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 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](

ERRORLOG file. There have been many occasions where I need to guide them to find location sp_readerrorlog msdn of ERRORLOG file generated by SQL Server. Most DBA’s are intelligent and know some of these, but this is my try to share my learning about ERRORLOG location.I https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1476/reading-the-sql-server-log-files-using-tsql/ decided to write this blog so that I can reuse it rather than sending steps every time. At this point I must point out that even if the name says ERRORLOG, it contains not only the errors but information message also. Here are various ways to find the SQL Server ErrorLog location.A) If SQL Server is http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2015/03/24/sql-server-where-is-errorlog-various-ways-to-find-its-location/ running and we are able to connect to SQL Server then we can do various things. So we can connect to SQL Server and run xp_readerrorlog. USE MASTER GO EXEC xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Logging SQL Server messages in file' GO If you can’t remember above command just run xp_readerrorlog and find the line which says “Logging SQL Server messages”. B) If we are not able to connect to SQL Server then we should SQL Server Configuration Manager use. We need to find startup parameter starting with -e. Below is the place in SQL Server Configuration Manager (SQL 2012 onwards) where we can see them.C) If you don’t want to use both ways, then here is the little unknown secret. The ERRORLOG is one of startup parameters and its values are stored in registry key and here is the key in my server. SQLArg1 shows parameter starting with -e parameters which point to Errorlog file.Here is the key which I highlighted in the image: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014\MSSQLSe
← Where to find backup- and restorehistory Tracking query progress with Live QueryStatistics → Searching through the SQL Server errorlogs September 1, 2015 Leave a comment SQL Server has https://devjef.wordpress.com/2015/09/01/searching-through-the-sql-server-error-logs/ a number of error logs, where both informational messages and errors are logged. You can compare it to the event viewer in Windows, but than only for SQL Server. This error log contains a lot of potentially useful information when you're investigating an issue. The physical location of the logfiles is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.[InstanceName]\MSSQL\Log". This can also be different if you changed the path in the SQL sql server Server setup (for example, the path on my machine is: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2014\MSSQL12.[InstanceName]\MSSQL\Log"). In that directory you'll find a number of ERRORLOG.[Number] files. There is a file for every archive, which depends on your SQL Server configuration. You can open the files with notepad, or any other text-editor you like. But you can also access these archives from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). SQL Server query error log Logs If you connect the object explorer in your SSMS, you can navigate to Management -> SQL Server Logs. There you see the number of configured log files (default is 7 log files: 6 archives + current log file): You can double-click a log file to open it. In the pop-up window you see the contents of the log, a number of checkboxes on the left to add more archives to the current view, and a button called "Filter…" that you can use to filter the current view: But unfortunately the filter in the Log File Viewer isn't always as easy to use. For example, you can't (at least as far as I know) filter on 2 strings. So how are you going to look for any events that contains "Backup" or "Restore"? That's not possible with this filter. xp_readerrorlog If you would rather use T-SQL to find things in the SQL Server Error Log, that's also possible. There's an extended procedure called xp_readerrorlog you can use for that, or you can use sp_readerrorlog (which is a stored procedure that used xp_readerrorlog). If you use sp_readerrorlog or xp_readerrorlog, you can also apply filters. You can use a number of parameter
