Hi All,

I have SQL 2005 and I noticed some missing dates from my SQL server log file. Example I am missing dates from 13-21 Jan 2011? Where is it.... and I have all the dates before and after.
I check the Win event file - Security and see that there was activity on 19 Jan and I know that they were connecting to SQL but SQL log didn't record it.

Any help....
Thanks a lot,

NOBODY, it happened again, I am missing now from 22 - 28 Jan log.

Why I can not even find any solution? Could it be that nobody had any issues like this with SQL system log?

Do you know what a SQL server log file is?

It sounds like you are talking about something completely different.

It is system SQL log, where you can see and trace events like login, failed login etc..., not the DB log file.

Are you talking about the SQL Server Error log files?

What tool (application) do you use to look at the "system SQL log"?

Yes it is, SQL Server Error log files. Sorry I didn't mention this from the beggining, it would make it much easier....

Sounds like a bug. What does SELECT @@VERSION show?

Are they missing inside the individual files, or are you expecting new files for each day?

They are inside the individual files.... not like the whole set is missing... only thing is that I noticed is one message before the missing log..


The SQL Netweork Interface library could not deregister the SPN for the SQL server......

thanks Tara for your help...

SPN problems have caused us a whole bunch of problems, including unexpected failovers. I haven't heard of error log issues, but I would suspect the SPN error is the root of the problem.
