  • How do you mean? Do you want alerts when there are errors? You can configure this using Alerts in SQL Agent.

  • Instead of checking the error log every two hours, why don't you just have the errors forwarded to you directly. Then you know about them when they happened rather than trying to figure out later. This is the approach I usually use. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188235.aspx

    This means you didn't have any critical errors. as i already said you can add errors in error table whatever you think as critical.
