Re: Service and EventLog
Hi Albert,
I've had similar problems when developing a service.
The way Event logging works, is that every event log has event sources.
These event sources can only log to the specific log you have assigned that
source to. Somewhere in your program, I'm sure you had code that created the
eventsource for a specific event log:
Something like:
if(!EventLog.SourceExists("MyLog", "MyService"))
{
EventLog.CreateEventSource("MyLog", "MyService",);
}
This was permanantly assigned now in the computers registery - The source
called "MyService" logs to the log "MyLog". You program cannot just go an
change that it wants to log to a different Log.
What you need to do is remove the EventLogSource from the MyLog Log.
You can do this in ASP.NET with the following code:
EventLog.DeleteEventSource("MyService");
And then use CreateEventSource again to assign the source to a different log
(AnotherLog).
You can also delete the eventsources from the registry.
These are located in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog.
In this registry entry, you will see you event logs (Application, Security,
System, and probably MyLog), In each of these, will be entries for the
eventsources.
