Missing events in the application log

[Jen]

My application log is missing events. I monitor all connections to my
SQL serveres which logs an event each logon. This is thousands of
events a day. My logs are large enough and they are set to overight
events more than 4 days old.

I'm not getting any messages in the system log telling me that the
application log is full. However, almost every day I have a large block
of time in which not has been logged. Usually it's between 10PM and
2AM.

Any ideas why that is?

thanks,
Jen

The temporary fix;
You might try changing the file properties to "Overwrite as needed"

Then; Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Services|Event Log Service|General,
set the "Startup Type:" to "Disabled" restart the pc, then delete (or move)
the corrupt *.evt file(s) from %windir%\system32\config then set the Event
Log Service "Startup Type:" back to "Automatic", restart for effect.

The more permanent fix;
