Error on executing sp_cycle_agent_errorlog Msg 22022, Level 16, State 1, Line 0

sp_cycle_agent_errorlog

Every time SQL Server Agent is started, the current SQL Server Agent error log is renamed to SQLAgent.1; SQLAgent.1 becomes SQLAgent.2, SQLAgent.2 becomes SQLAgent.3, and so on. sp_cycle_agent_errorlog enables you to cycle the error log files without stopping and starting the server.

This stored procedure must be run from the msdb database.

Msg 22022, Level 16, State 1, Line 0

SQLServerAgent Error: Access is denied.

Each time the stored procedure was run it just overwritten the current agent log without renaming it and because of this only one SQLAGENTOUT file was left.
