  $job = Get-SPTimerJob -Identity "Search Health Monitoring - Trace Events"
  $job.Execute([System.Guid]::Empty)
  

  Refresh the Application log.

Notes

• Thanks to Janis Norvelis for presenting the script.  Janis originally presented this script with respect to seeing this error appearing in SharePoint Server 2010 application logs.
• I have seen this error appear in the Application log of all farm servers hosting SharePoint Server 2013, every 24 hours, separated by approximately one minute intervals among the farm servers.  It occurs on all my farms, both 2010 and 2013.  One example:

• APP1:  6:13:02 AM
• WFE2: 6:14:03 AM
