Get your top 5 Errors out of your Event logs
So many times I want to know what Errors are filling up the logs on a server.
Here’s a quick PowerShell to show you the top 5 Errors in your Application or System Logs.
Use this one for Application Log Errors:
Get-EventLog -LogName Applicaiton -EntryType error | Group source,eventid | Sort count -Descending | select -First 5 | FT count,Name
And this one for System Log Errors:
Get-EventLog -LogName system -EntryType error | Group source,eventid | Sort count -Descending | select -First 5 | FT count,Name
