Facilitated CISA Study Session 28/4/2015 : Chapter 4 Part 1 to be broadcast via Google Hangouts

Posted on April 28, 2015

This evening we are discussing Chapter 4 of the study material. We will go through a general overview of the Chapter and then be discussing specific challenges participants may have and also questions from any of the sources that they may have got wrong or are having difficulty understanding. Raniel was going to lead this afternoon’s session but has taken ill so I (Justin) will lead it. Don’t forget we are also planning to host a question binge discussion session / catch-up on Saturday 2nd May 2015 (the full schedule of the remaining sessions is in the slide deck).

The sessions from the last few weeks have been reasonably successfully broadcast and recorded on Google Hangouts On Air so we will try to do the same for this afternoon’s session.  If there is something we can improve ahead of the next session please let us know.

Working with SQL Server error logs in Log Parser Studio

Posted on April 05, 2015

In the past I have always used one of the pre-define log type formats when working with log files. Recently I needed to work with SQL Server error logs and was a little concerned initially that there was no pre-defined format for these logs and trying one of the standard log types didn’t give me the output I expected (or needed).

With a little bit of effort I managed to figure out what was required, it turned out to be fairly simple. The trick was using the TSV format and then customising the settings.
