How to get SQL port number using xp_readererrorlog
06 December,2018 by Tom Collins
Question: Without going into the SQL Server Configuration manager via the GUI is there a command oriented method to extract the port number SQL Server is listening on?
Answer: There are a few different methods to extract the port number without going into the Configuration interface.
Method 1 - use xp_readererrorlog
When SQL Server starts up it goes through a number of checks and records these in the SQL Server Error log files. one of the checks relates to ports SQL Server is listening on.
This is an example to extract the port number . The first example is for 'any' , the second example returns all other details
USE master
GO
xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Server is listening on',N'any', NULL, NULL, N'asc'
GO
--results
