Place to query windows event log?

Hello:

Is it possible to query the CVI windows event log?

I don't see all the Windows event recorder functions available in the windows SDK provided with CVI 8.

What are the functions of windows recorder that I refer:

http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385784 (vs.85) .aspx

I am interested in the capture of application errors from the event logs on the stations running Teststand and CVI.

Thank you
Dave

You can use the ReadEventLog function.  It is documented in the Windows 2000 RC2 SDK distributed with CVI FDS 8.5.1.  Do not know if it is documented in the SDK software distributed with CVI 9.x

ReadEventLog

ReadEventLog

The ReadEventLog function reads a large number of entries in the specified event log. The function can be used to read the journal entries in chronological order or reverse chronological.

BOOL ReadEventLog(
  HANDLE hEventLog,                // handle to event log
  DWORD dwReadFlags,               // how to read log
  DWORD dwRecordOffset,            // offset of first record
  LPVOID lpBuffer,                 // buffer for read data
  DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead,      // bytes to read
  DWORD *pnBytesRead,              // number of bytes read
  DWORD *pnMinNumberOfBytesNeeded  // bytes required
);

Parameters

hEventLog
[in] Handle to read the event log. This handle is returned by the OpenEventLog function.
dwReadFlags
[in] Specifies how the read operation is to move forward. This parameter must include one of the following values.

Value Meaning
EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ The read operation derives from the record specified by the dwRecordOffset parameter.

This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ.
EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ The read operation is in order since the last call to the function ReadEventLog using this handle.

This flag cannot be used with the EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ.

If the buffer is large enough, more than one record can be read at the specified seek position. You must specify one of the following flags to indicate the direction for successive read operations.

Value Meaning
EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ The journal is read in chronological order.

This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ.
EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ The journal is read in reverse chronological order.

This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ.
dwRecordOffset
[in] Specifies the registration number - the journal entry in which to begin the read operation. This parameter is ignored unless dwReadFlags includes the EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ flag.
lpBuffer
[out] Pointer to a buffer for the reading of the event log data. This parameter cannot be NULL, even if the nNumberOfBytesToRead parameter is null.

The buffer will be filled with an EVENTLOGRECORD structure.

nNumberOfBytesToRead
[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer. This function will read as whole submissions contained in the buffer. the function does not return the partial entries, even if there is room in the buffer.
pnBytesRead
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the number of bytes read by the function.
pnMinNumberOfBytesNeeded
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the number of bytes required for the following journal entry. This count is not valid unless ReadEventLog returns zero, and GetLastError returns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.

Return values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

When this function returns successfully, the playback in the error log position is adjusted by the number of records to read. Only a number of set of event log records will return.

Note  Configured for this source file name can also be the file name configured for other sources (several sources may exist under subkeys under one log file). Therefore, this function can return events that have been recorded by several sources.

Requirements

Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later version.
Windows 95/98: Not supported.
Windows CE: Not supported.
Header: Declared in winbase.h; include windows.h.
Library: Use advapi32.lib.
Unicode: Implementation of both Unicode and ANSI under Windows NT/2000.

  • Stop "Windows event log" stops Browser Hijack

    Hi, I'm under Windows 7 SP1 and IE 11.

    Whenever I have start my PC, go on the Internet and launch IE, the first page which is to www.globalsearch.com. I tried almost all the options, reset IE, remove IE and add IE return, remove using all kinds of software malware/antivirus/scanners... u name it... It is detected as a browser ONLY on Internet Explorer browser hijacking. Can I get cleaned up in the registry, etc., removed to quarantine... but then the next time I start my PC the browser hijacking appears again during the launch of IE.

    The ONLY thing so far that was able to prevent browser hijacking is STOPPED "to the Windows event log. Managed to get it solved this way after troubleshooting for 2 weeks.

    My question is whether or not it is safe to STOP permanently Windows event log in order for me to not have this Browser Hijack on IE happen? If not, is there anyway I can 'REFRESH' to the Windows event log?

    Thank you very much.

    Thank you.

    I managed to remove it by understanding how Windows and other services event viewer which depended on. The culprit was inside the Task Scheduler. (Once you clear the Windows Event Viewer... Task Scheduler stops as well... so no browser don't hijack).

    Inside of the Task Scheduler, so I had to check the task that has been loaded at startup and I managed to find the culprit. I've removed from the Task Scheduler, then proceeds to the go to the directory of the EXE, it was loading and removed manually in safe MODE.

    Who did the lap :)

    Thanks for the reply Ramesh. Very much appreciated.

  • Treatment of the Windows event log

    Log Insight is able to ingest a Windows Server logs in the Windows event log format?  Or do I have the event logs Windows can be converted to syslog so that Insight Log to treat them?

    Thank you!

    Or - the Windows Event Viewer is not really a format - it's more of a database. LI ingests events event viewer, but it does not convert in syslog. The result is similar to what you see on WIndows - see attachment.

  • Disable the use of the Windows event log

    Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for help.

    Is there a way to disable the Oracle of Scripture in the Windows event log? Or at the very least, ignore errors resulting from Oracle not be able to write to them?

    -Arik

    In windows when AUDIT_TRAIL = OS, verification of documents are written in the same newspaper. Changing this setting to DB if you want to not audit records to be written to the event viewer. Also no matter what your SYSTEM operations will be written to the event log even if your audit_trail is set to DB. You can disable auditing of sys setting AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS = false

  • Monitoring windows event logs

    Hi all

    I'm testing Hyperic, ultimatly I want to use it to monitor my servers WIndows clients under a managed services arrangement.  To do this, I need to be able to control at least:

    * Free disk space
    * Windows event log in the system and Application logs (alert for warnings, notify errors)
    * Available WIndows updates
    * Updated anti-virus status (I think that the best way to do that through WMI for Windows Security Center).

    I have most of the working group above (I didn't start on the WMI stuff yet), but I'm struggling with the event logs.  I've attached a screenshot of the configuration of the platform.  It seems to work to a certain extent, but I see only events information, any information, warning and error that would involve the confgiuration (I suppose that the order is, from lowest to highest, information, warning, error).

    I would like to appreceate help for this.  I think that Hyperic is a great product that will meet my needs, but I just need to overcome these problems with the event log.

    We have excellent documentation on Event Manager.

  • Follow-up for certain Windows event log error

    Hello

    In the past I posted here, request technical Support and has tried many times in Foglight to install to the top of the cartridge from Windows to monitor events in the log events Windows for some, but I've never had very good luck.  Recently, I was responsible for implementing Foglight to monitor ALL our servers SQL Server with the following scenario:

    Event type: Information

    Event source: MSSQL$ SE

    Event category: (2)

    Event ID: 833

    Date: 02/01/2013

    Computer: AZPH-SRV-SQL51

    Description:

    SQL Server has met 2 exceedances of IO requests last more than 15 seconds to complete the [i:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\EVVSGVAULSTOREGROUP_1_1LOG.ldf] file in the database [EVVSGVAULSTOREGROUP_1_1] (11).  The operating system file handle is 0 x 0000000000001680.  The offset of the e/s, last long is: 0 x 00000005263400

    I know I have to put in place a LogFilter, but should I just configured for each server on which an instance?  There are more than 100.  In addition, advice on the implementation of the LogFilter would be greatly appreciated.  As I said, I never really managed to set these correctly.

    A journal of events rule already exists. In the attachment, you can see an example of the alert generated by the event log rule. The rule also has an action to send e-mail to the variable registry SYSADMIN.

    I advanced and forced an event occurs for example. I did have to define what event to look for. I left by default does not include. It's been a while since I used the event tracking feature, but I think that if you exclude offshore you can then include specific events.

    You can set the event category to monitor in a Windows_System agent startup properties.

  • VCE vblock, LSI_SCSI: Reset for device \Device\RaidPort0 ERROR in VM Windows Event logs

    Hello, I have been a problem for some time and I can't seem to understand this issue. Basically, the VM freezes but returns after 30 seconds.
    I found the problem was present on all data warehouses and even showed errors for for guests (san boot) boot sector. After changing the round robin at the fixed path on data warehouses to use a specific fiber channel switch LSI_SCSI errors were gone on all data warehouses, VM ect... everything worked normally.
    We have an installation program VCE vblock with UCS (blades), Nexus 5ks and VNX.

    So basically, we were troubleshooting paths FiberChannel beside the UCS to the VNX. We have changed ports on the VNX SP but side A was always bad / good B... Compared the configs of nexus for the two, identical configs/features beside the specificities as VSAN ect. Examined the configs for the UCS, but are fundamentally the same with Setup on the side B, but everything looked good. Nothing is defective.
    I noticed Tx errors on ports of module e/s and CRC errors on ports in the Nexus. Thought it might be a bad fiber so I replaced... The problem is always present. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Data Center:
    UCS: 5108 Chassis, IO module 2104XP (2.2 (3g)), blades B200 M2, fabric 6120XP interconnections (5.2 (3) N2 (2.23 g))

    5.5 ESXi update 2

    2 nexus 5ks

    VNX 5500

    I found the culprit, SFP. The FPS that were used throughout the entire upward was incompatible and FUBAR would. Not match speeds, single mode when it should have been multi ect. Just all around the nightmare. It's on EVERYTHING from the VNX to IOM simply ridiculous. After completing the gutting of the SFP and the fiber, replacement and then delivered at the point of the chassis of the UCS everything was great. Honestly, I don't know how it worked at all with this configuration. Anyway, if you want something done you have to do it yourself.

  • Windows - always the application log event logs?

    Hello

    Is it possible for Oracle to write audit events to a custom Windows event log?

    The problem is there are so many events Oracle in a such short time as automatic rotation journal takes his retirement other articles in newspapers very quickly.

    Currently, we use xml files, but it's a solution less than optimal in our environment.

    Thank you!

    I don't think this is possible, as who would want less of security under Windows?

    If there's way, it would probably be a thing of the OS.

  • Vista event log no longer works

    I recently discovered that I can no longer start Windows event log service.  I believe that this began after the last Windows Update has been installed.

    When you attempt to start the service I get the following error: "error 4201: the instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider."  The services that depend of the event viewer (Event Collector and Task Scheduler) are started, but of course they also do not work.  I tried all the suggestions to solve this problem that are listed in the Technet Forum without success.

    While other Windows Vista technical forums, I discovered there are a large NUMBER of users who also are exeriencing this dilemma.  Some are able to fix problems while others (including me) are not.

    Can anyone offer additional help to fix this problem?

    If Toshiba did not provide your system with backup of your data and/or the system, you will have to make do with what you have. If there is a way for you to save a copy of the exported user settings and data that you can create with Windows Easy Transfer, you can use it to restore all after you have made a "restore to the default settings of the factor" from the recovery disc. This would exclude the software installed after that.

    There are also lucky when you run recovery disks which would offer you a "repair" that would be worth a try.

  • missing events in the event log

    I'm really new and can't help otherwise explain what just happened to me. I am running Vista home and checked my reliability and performance monitor. He came back to me with missing events to the event log. 14% of my missing log files. He told me that my buffer size and maximum ETW memory buffer is not obtimal that the data sets are collected. I have AVG free virus and found no problem. I had a lot of problems with the security of the networks and curious to know for myself if someone takes information just behind my computer. Everyone acts as if I am perinoid, but I had log events while at work and shut down the system. Some are could not log on to attemtps still more successful. Many programs also show other computers on my network even glancing only ethernet to my dsl modem. So I'm not under xp but have the same diagnostic report.

    Hi Dancin' madman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue so that we can better help you.

    (a) what version of Vista are you using?

    (b) is connected to a domain, or more than 10 computers in your computer network?

    (c) what the event log you are trying to check?

    For example, if you check the log of events for an Application, then you must

    1. click on Start, type Event Viewer in the start search and press enter

    2. in the Windows logs , select the Application, it should be under the winlogon (the last)entry. Right click on the Application and select Properties.

    3. in the Properties , you can check for the latest event logs and check the settings if it is set to replace the events, if you want, then you can change the settings.

    Because you are worried about the security of the network, you can try first run a scan of online security.

    Follow the below links for analysis online on your computer to verify if there is a malicious software on your computer.

    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx

    You can also check if the Services of Windows Event log and dependence are started.

    1. Click Start, type Services in start search box and press ENTER.

    2. Locate the Windows event log in the mentioned Services.

    3. check if the status is started. If the condition column is blank, right click on the Windows event log Service and select start.

    4. open the Windows Service event log, select dependencies. In dependencies, select the Windows event collector and click ok to start the service.

    5. also check the dependencies in the Windows event collector and launch service dependencies by clicking OK.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.
