Open Log File Viewer

  • Artikkeli

Applies to: SQL Server

You can use Log File Viewer in SQL Server Management Studio to access information about errors and events that are captured in the following logs:

  • Audit Collection

  • Data Collection

  • Database Mail

  • Job History

  • SQL Server

  • SQL Server Agent

  • Windows events (These Windows events can also be accessed from Event Viewer.)

Beginning in SQL Server 2012 (11.x), you can use Registered Servers to view SQL Server log files from local or remote instances of SQL Server. By using Registered Servers, you can view the log files when the instances are either online or offline. For more information about online access, see the procedure "To view online log files from Registered Servers" later in this topic. For more information about how to access offline SQL Server log files, see View Offline Log Files.

You can open Log File Viewer in several ways, depending on the information that you want to view.

Permissions

To access log files for instances of SQL Server that are online, this requires membership in the securityadmin fixed server role.

To access log files for instances of SQL Server that are offline, you must have read access to both the Root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10 WMI namespace, and to the folder where the log files are stored. For more information, see the Security section of the topic View Offline Log Files.

Security

Requires membership in the securityadmin fixed server role.
