Remarks

This table contains error detail for the log shipping agents. Each error is logged as a sequence of exceptions. There can be multiple errors (sequences) for each agent session.

In addition to being stored on the remote monitor server, the information related to the primary server is stored on the primary server in its log_shipping_monitor_error_detail table, and information related to a secondary server is also stored on the secondary server in its log_shipping_monitor_error_detail table.

To identify an agent session, use columns agent_id, agent_type, and session_id. Sort by log_time to see the errors in the order in which they were logged.
