event log doubt

[ashokvishnu]

Hi Gurus, I log an event with event type as 0 ( EVENTLOG_SUCCESS ). In event viewer the event has the Information icon. But when I open the properties window for the event, the Type is displayed as None. Why? Thanks

Logging to the event log isn't easy, especially if you want to follow the rules and get a nice looking log. I suggest you search for articles (here on CP) on the subject.

I have gone through these articles. In winnt.h the event types are given as #define EVENTLOG_SUCCESS 0X0000 #define EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE 0x0001 #define EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE 0x0002 #define EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE 0x0004 #define EVENTLOG_AUDIT_SUCCESS 0x0008 #define EVENTLOG_AUDIT_FAILURE 0x0010 Still if I log an event with event type value as zero, Success is not shown as the type in EventViewer. Thats what I do not understand.

It seems only error, information, warning, audit_success and audit_failure can be used as event types for logging. They what is the purpose of EVENTLOG_SUCCESS in winnt.h?
