Sp_readerrorlog In Sql Server 2012
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 view sql server transaction log 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](
@p1 INT = 0,
@p2 INT = NULL,
@p3 VARCHAR(255) = NULL,
@p4 VARCHAR(255) = NULL)

SERVER - Where is ERRORLOG? Various Ways to Find ERRORLOG Location March 24, 2015Pinal DaveSQL Tips and Tricks9 commentsWhenever someone reports some weird error on my blog comments or sends email to know about it, I always ask to share SQL Server ERRORLOG file. There have been http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2015/03/24/sql-server-where-is-errorlog-various-ways-to-find-its-location/ many occasions where I need to guide them to find location 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 http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/35015/log-all-errors-in-queries about ERRORLOG location.I 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 sql server not only the errors but information message also. Here are various ways to find the SQL Server ErrorLog location.A) If SQL Server is 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 sql server error 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\MSSQLServer\Parameters\Note that “MSSQL12.SQL2014” would vary based on SQL Server Version and instance name which is installed. Here is the quick table with version referenceSQL Server VersionKey NameSQL Server 2008MSSQL10SQL Server 2008 R2MSSQL10_50SQL Server 2012MSSQL11SQL Server 2014MSSQL12In SQL Server 2005, we would see a key name in the format of MSSQL.n (like MSSQL.1) the number n would vary based on instance ID.Here is a key where we can get mapping of Instance ID and directory.In the above image, you can see that this computer has a default instance (Instance Name MSSQLSERVER) of SQL Server 2012 and named instance (Instance Name

Some of them are legacy and I would not like to modify. Is there a way to log at server level all query errors, regardless of the application causing it? I would like to know, for each error, the query causing it, the error type, and ideally loginame and hostname. sql-server sql-server-2008-r2 share|improve this question edited Feb 20 '13 at 17:00 firedfly 1032 asked Feb 19 '13 at 11:41 carlo.borreo 4173715 1 You can capture the XE event error_reported. Create a session for that event, specify a predicate (unless you want this for all databases) and have a file as the target for later consumption/analysis. –Thomas Stringer Feb 19 '13 at 11:53 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote accepted If you are just looking to log this information, you can set up an Extended Events session and capture the error_reported event. Here is an example: CREATE EVENT SESSION [ErrorCapture] ON SERVER ADD EVENT sqlserver.error_reported ( ACTION ( sqlserver.client_hostname, sqlserver.database_id, sqlserver.sql_text, sqlserver.username ) WHERE ( [severity] >= (11) ) ) ADD TARGET package0.asynchronous_file_target ( SET filename=N'C:\SqlServer\Testing\ErrorCapture.xel' ) WITH ( MAX_MEMORY=4096 KB, EVENT_RETENTION_MODE=ALLOW_SINGLE_EVENT_LOSS, MAX_DISPATCH_LATENCY=30 SECONDS, MAX_EVENT_SIZE=0 KB, MEMORY_PARTITION_MODE=NONE, TRACK_CAUSALITY=OFF, STARTUP_STATE=ON ); GO ALTER EVENT SESSION [ErrorCapture] ON SERVER STATE = START; GO To test this out, here is a test error with RAISERROR(): raiserror('This is a test error', 2, 1); go Then by looking at the XE log through the sys.fn_xe_file_target_read_file system function, you will be able to see all of the logged errors. share|impro
