Example

The following example shows how to retrieve values for all logged events in a specified log file. To run the example, replace <Instance_Name> with the name of the instance of SQL Server, such as 'Instance1', and replace 'File_Name' with the name of the error log file, such as 'ERRORLOG.1'.

on error resume next  
strComputer = "."  
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _  
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _  
    & strComputer & "\root\MICROSOFT\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10")  
set logEvents = objWmiService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM SqlErrorLogEvent WHERE InstanceName = '<Instance_Name>' AND FileName = 'File_Name'")  
  
For Each logEvent in logEvents  
WScript.Echo "Instance Name: " & logEvent.InstanceName & vbNewLine _  
    & "Log Date: " & logEvent.LogDate & vbNewLine _  
    & "Log File Name: " & logEvent.FileName & vbNewLine _  
    & "Process Info: " & logEvent.ProcessInfo & vbNewLine _  
    & "Message: " & logEvent.Message & vbNewLine _  
  
Next  

Comments

When InstanceName or FileName are not provided in the WQL statement, the query will return information for the default instance and the current SQL Server log file. For example, the following WQL statement will return all log events from the current log file (ERRORLOG) on the default instance (MSSQLSERVER).

"SELECT * FROM SqlErrorLogEvent"  

Security

To connect to a SQL Server log file through WMI, you must have the following permissions on both the local and remote computers:

  • Read access to the Root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10 WMI namespace. By default, everyone has read access through the Enable Account permission.

  • Read permission to the folder that contains the error logs. By default the error logs are located in the following path (where <Drive> represents the drive where you installed SQL Server and <InstanceName> is the name of the instance of SQL Server):

    <Drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12 .<InstanceName>\MSSQL\Log

If you are connecting through a firewall, ensure that an exception is set in the firewall for WMI on remote target computers. For more information, see Connecting to WMI Remotely Starting with Windows Vista.
