SharePoint EventCache Cmdlet

29 Jun 2015 | Development, News, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2013

The EventCache table stores a lot of valuable information about what has occurred in a SharePoint content database, including information that is either difficult or not possible to find within the ULS log.

To facilitate this, I’ve created the SharePoint EventCache Cmdlet, which can be found on my Github repro. This cmdlet will let you perform a query of the table with parameters without needing SharePoint installed on the local machine.

Setup is made easy via a standard MSI installer.

Let me know what you think!
