Reading Remote Event logs

hi,

i find code fore read/write event log of local computer and remote computer,you can also this code sample

/logType can be Application, Security, System or any other Custom Log.
string logType = "Application";
			
EventLog ev = new EventLog(logType, System.Environment.MachineName);
int LastLogToShow = ev.Entries.Count;
if ( LastLogToShow <= 0 )
Console.WriteLine("No Event Logs in the Log :" + logType);

// Read the last 2 records in the specified log. 
int i;
for ( i = ev.Entries.Count - 1; i>= LastLogToShow - 2; i--)
{
	EventLogEntry CurrentEntry = ev.Entries[i];
	Console.WriteLine("Event ID : " + CurrentEntry.EventID);
	Console.WriteLine("Entry Type : " + CurrentEntry.EntryType.ToString());
	Console.WriteLine("Message :  " + CurrentEntry.Message + "\n");
}	
ev.Close();

complete reference you can go through from this link.

machine = "1.12.45.7"
log = "LgName"
If (Not EventLog.Exists(log, machine)) Then
Console.WriteLine("The log does not exist!")
Exit Sub
End If
Dim aLog As EventLog
aLog = New EventLog
aLog.Log = log
aLog.MachineName = machine
Console.WriteLine("There are {0} entr[y|ies] in the log:", CStr(aLog.Entries.Count))
Dim entry As EventLogEntry
For Each entry In aLog.Entries
Console.WriteLine(" Entry: {0}", entry.Message)
Next entry
Console.ReadLine()
 

Thanks Niradhip(James Hetfield).

But it doesn't anwer my question at all. I'm using the same namespace to read eventlogs. but my question was that how to pass the name of the remote machine as MachineName in second parameter of EventLog Constructor.

EventLog eventLogs = new EventLog("LogName","Remote Machine Name");

 

Thanks for showing interest in the thread.
