How to get the ULS log entries using powershell
It is not easy to search for an error using correlation id from the sharepoint log. We use ULS log viewer to make the ULS log look nicer. However, powershell provides us a way to extract the log between a specified time frame and provide a text file. Run the below command to get it.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
Get-SPLogEvent -StartTime "07/02/2016 11:35:00" -EndTime "07/02/2016 11:40:00" | ?{$_.Correlation -eq "3c768c9d-5f2e-70a4-962e-b5dddb8ca4f2"} | select Area, Category, Level, EventID, Message | Format-List | out-file "D:\Corelog.txt"
