[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md] The SQL Server error log reports events affecting Always On Availability Groups, such as:
-
Communication with the Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster
-
State transitions of availability replicas
-
State transitions of availability databases
-
Connectivity state of availability databases between primary and secondary replicas
-
Statuses of the availability group endpoints
-
Statuses of the availability group listeners
-
Lease status between the SQL Server resource DLL (running in the WSFC cluster) and the SQL Server instance (for more information, see How It Works: SQL Server Always On lease timeout)
-
Error events in the availability group
The following symptoms should lead to review of the SQL Server error log:
-
Cannot access availability databases
-
Unexpected availability group failover
-
Availability group in the Resolving state unexpectedly
-
Availability group in an indeterminate state
