Log File Auto Shrink Event Class
The Log File Auto Shrink event class indicates that the log file shrank automatically. This event is not triggered if the log file shrinks because of an explicit ALTER DATABASE statement.
Include the Log File Auto Shrink event class in traces that monitor the shrinking of the log file. When thisevent class is included in a trace the amount of overhead incurred will be low unless the file frequently shrinks.
