If you are like me, you go to the SharePoint logs folder often in an attempt to try and resolve various errors you may encounter when working with SharePoint.  I noticed on some of my servers, that I was receiving an entry similar to the one below in my log file.

04/17/2008 10:45:52.99 wsstracing.exe (0x06BC)                        0x2498  ULS Logging                              Unified Logging Service              uls1      Monitorable       Tracing Service lost trace events.  Current value 13.         

I did a quick Google search and was unable to find an answer.  I did however notice that people did encounter this error after upgrading to SP1.  This was definitely also the case with these particular servers.  I got lucky and the solution to solving this is simple.  I just restarted the Windows SharePoint Services Tracing and the Windows SharePoint Services Administration services.  Once I did that, a new log was created and I was getting all of my trace information again.
