When the message is inserted into the Event Log it can be done in three ways.
The messages are logged as follows:
Single insertion string.
%1 is replaced with:
Date – Tab – Time – Priority – Tab – Hostname – Tab – Message
5 Space delimited insertion strings
%1 Space %2 Space %3 Space %4 Space %5
%1 = Date
%2 = Time
%3 = Priority
%4 = Hostname
%5 = Message
Press the Test button to test the NT event logging action. When running on a non NT system like Windows 95/98, no message will be logged and an error message will appear.
Note: By default, when viewing the NT event log with the NT event log viewer, the log type is set to show System events. To show Application events, you need to check the Application item in the Log menu of the NT Event viewer.
