Troubleshooting SharePoint Diagnostics Logging
One of my clients called the other day with a SharePoint logging problem. Her server(s) were creating blank log files, 0KB in size without any errors or apparent issue.
I started with some basics:
1) Is there adequate disk space on the server(s)?
2) Is the “Windows SharePoint Timer Service” running?
I then restarted the timer service to ensure that the credentials were still valid. But that didn’t help.
Next, I wanted to validate what my logging levels were set to, so I ran the following STSADM command:
stsadm -o listlogginglevels
This revealed that everything was set to “None” from the original defaults.
I next ran the following command to reset values to defaults:
stsadm -o setlogginglevel -default
That did it!
