Windows Event Logging

Can anyone explain what is Windows Event Logging?

From stackoverflow
  • When you send log messages to the Windows Event Logger. You can see the messages by going to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer.

  • Try this related stack overflow question.

  • Since this is homework I'm assuming you just want the basic idea of it. If your program encounters a serious error, you write it to the Windows event log so you can keep a record and look at it later to figure out what went wrong. Look it up on MSDN or Wikipedia

  • Windows Event Log is a component of Microsoft's Windows NT line of operating systems that lets administrators and users view the event logs on a local or remote machine. Windows Event Logging is the process of writing applications' events into that centrolized log storage.

  • I think everything you need to know would be here:
