I got an alert from SCOM saying that one of the clustered SQL Server instances had failed. (Thanks SCOM a.k.a. OpsMgr for letting me know!)

Anyways, I wanted to know real quick which instances had actually restarted. Quickest way I knew was to filter the Windows application event log down to EventID 17162. Turns out, SCOM was right. Only one instance reported that it had been restarted.

Now that I know which instances have restarted, I can begin the in-depth research…

Consequently, I’ve found that you can track shutdowns of SQL Server by EventID 17148.
