[python-win32] Writing event to event log...

[Imre András Róbert]

Hello fmml,

The ReportEvent method is a decent one to try,
you may find in in win32evtlogutil.py.

The servicemanager module contains some simple
methods for this as well:

LogMsg
  Write an specific message to the log.

LogInfoMsg
  Write an informational message to the log.

LogErrorMsg
  Write an error message to the log.

LogWarningMsg
  Logs a generic warning message to the event log.


Supposed you installed pywin32, you could have a look at
these in use in demos under <python home>\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos
directory. Especially eventLogDemo.py and service\pipeTestService.py.

That's a good starting point. Should you need to define your own
categories and event IDs, things will get harder. If still interested,
you may find an ongoing discussion on this topic in the following thread
here: [Windows service features and Python]


Hope this helps,
  András
