    ExecutionLog and ExecutionLog2 are provided for backward compatibility to SQL 2005 and SQL 2008, and thus it is recommended that you use the ExecutionLog3 view.

    However, when your Report Server will not start or you are seeing other errors on your SSRS website, there are additional tools available to assist with troubleshooting a problem. Several different logs are available when working with SSRS.

    • First, is the Report Server Service Trace Log; this log contains information which includes information posted by the report server, information posted from the SSRS web service, and details posted from the Report Manager. Additionally, the main log file can help track down specific errors which may be occurring and also notates unexpected errors experienced by Reporting Services.
    • Second, use the Report Server HTTP log to trace all the http requests and responses made against your SSRS web service. This log is like a "log book" of your visitors. However, as compared to the trace log mentioned, above, it is not enabled by default. It must be enabled in the ReportingServicesService.exe.config file.

    The docs link mentioned above and here it is again is a good place to start https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server/reporting-services-log-files-and-sources

    Thanks Hakim,

    Means before execution of SSRS Report if i am facing any issues then "Windows Event Viewer" is the best option to check and

    after SSRS report execution if i want to see the logs then "ExecutionLog2" is the solution.

    right?

    Thanks!

    this view retrieves Time analysis like processing time, time data retrieval, roe count, byte count,

    for error occur during execution, you can check event viewer in windows

    means if any error occur during execution SSRS report, take much time to execute... etc.

    So, generally we referred log files.

    executionlog2 is only the way?

    please give me more shed on this.

    thanks!
