Where are the event logs stored?
Hello, I have a job running on a sharepoint server every hour. If I write to the event logs/ Console.Write, can you tell me, where will the logs get stored on the sharepoint server.

HI, Log in to your server. Go To Start-->Administrative Tools-->Eventviewer Then right click on the event categories on left and select properties. This will show you the path. For me it is %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs I hope this will help you out. Thanks, Rahul Rashu

Thank you so much. But, I believed, that for sharepoint server, u mention the logs, in the central admin site, and thats where the logs get stored. Correct me if I am wrong.

How about looking at this MSDN article which explains the Custom Logging mechanism in detail: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647362.aspx Hope this helps.Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
