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 xp_readerrorlog 2014 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.

SSMS - FIX - Error - The log file is not using Unicodeformat » SQL Internals : Useful Parameters forxp_readerrorlog Posted by blakhani on December 10, 2014 I know that most of you have been using sp_readerrorlog for long time. While working with SSMS, I noticed that we have options to put filters on various parameter. I became curious to know what is done in the background. If we look at code of sp_readerrorlog using sp_helptext system procedure, this is the output. create proc sys.sp_readerrorlog( @p1 int = 0, @p2 int = NULL, @p3 nvarchar(4000) = NULL, @p4 nvarchar(4000) = NULL) as begin if (not is_srvrolemember(N'securityadmin') = 1) begin raiserror(15003,-1,-1, N'securityadmin') return (1) end if (@p2 is NULL) exec sys.xp_readerrorlog @p1 else exec sys.xp_readerrorlog @p1,@p2,@p3,@p4 end Which means that under the cover, xp_readerrorlog is being used by sp_readerrorlog. Coming back to SSMS, here is the snip of information taken from profiler while launching Log File Viewer. I have done some formatting to make it look proper. -- Below is the way SSMS Reads the ErrorLog. Can be found via profiler Declare @InstanceName nvarchar(4000), @ArchiveID
@p1 INT = 0,
@p2 INT = NULL,
@p3 VARCHAR(255) = NULL,
@p4 VARCHAR(255) = NULL)
