Monitoring Event sink # 3 - Using OLE DB Provider & Application Event Logs
When we work with event sink, many of the time we'll get confuse, whether the event is working or not. Because there are quite some issues associated probably event sink might be not properly registered or not, how about its criteria filter or any of the interfaces or missing were some of the common reasons.
By making use of MS Exchange OLE DB provider, we can find more valuable information. We can check MS Exchange OLE DB provider logs events in the Microsoft Windows® server operating systems Application event log.
The following table describes these events.
