How to view the sqlserver log?

To view SQL Server logs, you can use the following methods:

1. Using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): Open SSMS, connect to the appropriate SQL Server instance, expand the “Management” node, right-click on “SQL Server Error Logs”, and select “View SQL Server Error Logs”.
2. Execute the following command in the query window of the SQL Server instance using Transact-SQL: EXEC sp_readerrorlog.
3. Manually check the log files: the error log files for SQL Server are located in the default path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Log, where you can open and view the log files using any text editor.

You can view the activity, errors, and warnings of the database by checking the error log, event log, and database engine log of SQL Server, using any method.
