Export SharePoint 2007 Search Crawl Log Errors using PowerShell
Requirement: Found so many errors logged in the Search crawl log. Wanted to analyze them. So need them in CSV format.
Solution: Lets use this PowerShell Script to export search crawl errors to CSV:
#Load SharePoint Assemblies
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.Office.Server.Search")
#Web Application URL
$url = "http://sharepoint.crescent.com"
$csID = 4 #Content source id - Local SharePoint sites
#Objects to get Crawl History
$site = new-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url);
$context = [Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchContext]::GetContext($site);
$logViewer = new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.logviewer ($context)
$crawlLogFilters = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlLogFilters
$EndDate = [System.DateTime]::Now
$StartDate=$endDate.AddDays(-1)
#Content Source Id
$csProp=[Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlLogFilterProperty]::ContentSourceId
$crawlLogFilters.AddFilter($csProp, $csID)
#Get all Errors
$crawlLogFilters.AddFilter([Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.MessageType]::Error)
#Add Start Date and End Date
$crawlLogFilters.AddFilter($startDate, $endDate)
$startNum = 0
$errorItems += $logViewer.GetCurrentCrawlLogData($crawlLogFilters, ([ref] $startNum))
while($startNum -ne -1)
{
$crawlLogFilters.AddFilter("StartAt", $startNum)
$startNum = 0;
$errorItems += $logViewer.GetCurrentCrawlLogData($crawlLogFilters, ([ref] $startNum))
#Write-Host "Processing $startNum";
}
$errorItems | Export-CSV "d:\Backup\crawllog.csv" -notypeinformation
