- What do you want to monitor about the errorlog ? Size or content ?

- we use a scheduled (sqlagent) job to start new errorlogs at least every week using DBCC errorlog

- to import the errorlog : (in this case in a temp table)

set nocount on

CREATE TABLE #ErrLog (SeqNo bigint identity(1,1) not null, LogDate datetime, ProcessInfo varchar(50), LogText varchar(max))

INSERT INTO #ErrLog (LogDate,ProcessInfo,LogText)

EXEC sp_readerrorlog

SELECT *

FROM #ErrLog

ORDER BY LogDate desc, SeqNo desc

drop table #ErrLog

HI,

I need to Monitor the Error Log contents for any new errors are there in the log. In Case of any new errors found the same has to send a alert msg to our oncall.
