It is done using the eventlog service (which is supported as replacement
for syslog now) or in case of MSSQL as file logging.
MSSQL in more detail:
In eventlog only the most important MSSQL messages will appear
(start/stop, PANIC), while the rest is done in logfiles (retrievable
over client tools, rotatable using sp_cycle_errorlog) and may grow much
larger than eventlog (which will receive messages from all apps/services).
This handling is so throughout M$ apps, like webserver etc: fatals to
eventlog, the rest to files.
Regards,
Andreas
