How to find real error in Sharepoint 2010 based on Correlation ID of the error

If you get error in SharePoint 2010 most of them are generic like this one, where only thing we can see is Correlation ID.

- Run SharePoint 2010 Management Shell

- Run the following command with your Correlation ID


get-splogevent | ?{$_.Correlation -eq "CORRELATION ID"} | select Area, Category, Level, EventID, Message |Format-List
