The EventLogUtilities objects are structured much like the EventLog viewer.

The main object is View, it can be used to access the various event logs on a system (View.Logs) and to change which server the event logs will be obtained from.

The Logs object can be used to enumerate through the primary logs:  Application, Security, and System.  To access other logs, use Logs.Item("NameOfLog").

The Log object provides access to the Events object which holds the collection of events for a particular log.

An Event object is the bottom level object and contains the properties which make up an event.  Note:  event time is given as local system time.



Example Use from VBScript:



Set oView = CreateObject("EventLogUtilities.View")



for each oLog in oView.Logs

	for each oEvent in oLog.Events

		wscript.echo oEvent.Description

	next
