Large Gaps in Error Log

  • I recently was involved in a situation on a large database where the error log was simply not logging for over a week. In the past I've seen that behavior with resource issues. There were not trace flags in place that would have turned off logging for over a week. Any ideas on where to look to determine why this occurred?

  • Windows logs?

  • No the SQL Server Error Logs. Skipped a week before it started logging again.

  • I meant, perhaps the windows logs (eventvwr) mentions why it couldn't write to the error logs.

  • No, not any indications why it couldn't write.

  • " Any ideas on where to look to determine why this occurred? "

    Jo Pattyn already answered the first place to look at is Windows Eventviewer.
