| If you have too many error messages in your error log and need immediate focus it good to write a procedure to look for the Phrase “Error” in the error log and setup either an Alert or mail notification. If not use sp_readerrorlog in QA. |

| I'm just looking for something that has already been written so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.basically, what I would like to implement is something that checks the error log at regular intervals, and then notifies us via email and pager to errors that are found.We currently have a tool in place that monitors event logs in this way, but we do not have anything that monitors the sql server error logs.-ec |

| Errors that get listed in the SQL Server Error log also get listed in the Event Viewer, so your current monitoring system should already work.Tara |

| Here is a Script that looks for the Errors in the Error log. You need to schedule a job in a regular intervals depends on your application. Also you can either configure a sql mail or setup an alert to raise.CREATE TABLE #Errors (vchMessage varchar(255), ID int) CREATE INDEX idx_msg ON #Errors(ID, vchMessage) INSERT #Errors EXEC xp_readerrorlog SELECT vchMessage FROM #Errors WHERE vchMessage LIKE '%Error%' Drop table #Errors |
