SharePoint PowerShell Script Series Part 5–Exporting the crawl log to a CSV file

Artikkeli
01/28/2012

I recently had a request to provide a SharePoint Administrator the ability to export out a crawl log to a CSV file using PowerShell. Luckily, I found Vijay’s (Thanks Vijay!) post which saved me a ton of time:

https://blogs.msdn.com/b/spses/archive/2011/06/22/exporting-sharepoint-2010-search-crawl-logs.aspx

I wanted to add some more functionality to this process of exporting out to a CSV. I wrote the following PowerShell script which gives the Admin more options like choosing which Search Service Application and filtering by URL or by Content Source.

Updated on 2/18/2012 – Thanks to my colleague Heiko at Microsoft. He pointed out the lack of functionality when multiple crawl stores exists within the Search Service Application. I updated the script to now work with Search Service Applications containing multiple crawl stores.

This script does the following:

1.    Let you decide which Search Service Application to use
2.    Let you decide if you want to filter against URL or by Content Source
3.    If you choose URL, you have an option of only exporting Errors or All Events (Skip to Step 5)
4.    If you choose Content Source, you decide which content source to filter against
        4.a. After Choosing Content Source, you have an option of only exporting Errors or All Events

5. Finally, you can choose the path and file name to use and the file will export the result set as a CSV which can be opened in Excel

Instructions for running the script:

1.    Copy the below script and save it in notepad
2.    Save it with a anyfilename.ps1 extension
3.    To run, copy the file to a SharePoint Server
4.    Select Start\Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products\SharePoint 2010 Management Shell
5.    Browse to directory holding the copied script file
6.    Run the script: .\anyfilename.ps1 (assuming anyfilename is the name of the file)
