Does anyone know of a way to read the NT Event logs using SQL Server (like in Query Analyzer)? We have a database server in another domain that I cannot access easily. I VPN to the domain and can connect to the database fine, but when I try to open the Event logs locally I have enough time to get a snack and take a nap 🙂 If I could read the logs through SQL Server it certainly would make life easier. Has anyone found a way to do this?

Check out this script: http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/viewscript.asp?scriptid=1350
I found it while researching a way to import Windows log info to a central computer for a daily health check. I have tested it but haven't put it into full use yet.

Wow. That looks interesting and may do the trick, but I may have to jump through a few hoops to get the LogParser installed on both nodes of the cluster (security thing, you know). I think I'll set up a test and if it's what I need then all I have to do is "sell" the idea. Thank you so much for the info.

I tested the procedure using LogParser and it's exactly what I need. Thanks again!

Glad to help. There are some really cool tools posted here if you search for the right terms.
