Troubleshooting Sharepoint 2010 Log Files 0 Kb size

Dear Friends,

This post is not on Dynamics AX, but about troubleshooting sharepoint log files.

This morning, I changed the credentials for one of my service "Sharepoint 2010 Tracing Service" to a domain account from the initially set local service account.

The change went successful which means I was able to start the service with the new account. However, the Sharepoint log files were just showing 0 KB. The log entries were not getting populated in the log file.

Solution:

Had to add the service account to Performance Log Users Group under (Computer Management > Local Users and Groups > Groups)

Please see the blog below for a detailed reference.
