The type of the event log. This means what kind of actions should be returned. The events under Windows are split into three different log types. Application log: Application log contains events that are logged by applications or programs. A database program could, for example, log a file error in the application log. The developer of the respective program decides which events should be logged. Security log: The security log contains events like valid and invalid log in attempts as well as events for resource use , for example, creating, opening or deleting of files or other objects. An administrator defines the events that should be logged via the security log. When the security log is activated the log in attempts of the system are logged in the security log. System log: The system log contains events that are logged by Windows system components. Events like failure when loading the device driver or failure of another system component at system start are logged in the system log. The event types logged by system components are predefined via Windows. |
