Why SharePoint Logs are empty (0KB size)?

n

nSharePoint logs are quite important in many scenarios when we don’t find what’s wrong in Event Viewer

n

n

n

nI was working with SharePoint 2010 environment and saw this, in 14 hive Logs, all logs were of size 0KB

n

n

n

nSo to solve this,

n

n

n

nI checked that Diagnostic Logging was enabled and correct path for logs was set

n

n

n

nThen as next step you should check this

n

n

n

nFor logging, SharePoint uses tracing service named as SharePoint 2010 Tracing (run services.msc)

n

n

n

nCheck which account this service is using

n

n

n

nIn my case, I changed service account to local system and logging worked

n

n

n

nI hope this helps some one J
