Constructors

EventLogConfiguration(String, EventLogSession)	Initializes a new EventLogConfiguration object by specifying the name of the log for which to get information and configuration settings. The log can be on the local computer or a remote computer, based on the event log session specified.
EventLogConfiguration(String)	Initializes a new EventLogConfiguration object by specifying the local event log for which to get information and configuration settings.

Properties

IsClassicLog	Gets a value that indicates whether the event log is a classic event log. A classic event log is one that has its events defined in an .mc file instead of a manifest (.xml file) used by the event provider.
IsEnabled	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the event log is enabled or disabled. An enabled log is one in which events can be logged, and a disabled log is one in which events cannot be logged.
LogFilePath	Gets or sets the file directory path to the location of the file where the events are stored for the log.
LogIsolation	Gets an EventLogIsolation value that specifies whether the event log is an application, system, or custom event log.
LogMode	Gets or sets an EventLogMode value that determines how events are handled when the event log becomes full.
LogName	Gets the name of the event log.
LogType	Gets an EventLogType value that determines the type of the event log.
MaximumSizeInBytes	Gets or sets the maximum size, in bytes, that the event log file is allowed to be. When the file reaches this maximum size, it is considered full.
OwningProviderName	Gets the name of the event provider that created this event log.
ProviderBufferSize	Gets the size of the buffer that the event provider uses for publishing events to the log.
ProviderControlGuid	Gets the control globally unique identifier (GUID) for the event log if the log is a debug log. If this log is not a debug log, this value is null.
ProviderKeywords	Gets or sets the keyword mask used by the event provider.
ProviderLatency	Gets the maximum latency time used by the event provider when publishing events to the log.
ProviderLevel	Gets or sets the maximum event level (which defines the severity of the event) that is allowed to be logged in the event log. This value is defined by the event provider.
ProviderMaximumNumberOfBuffers	Gets the maximum number of buffers used by the event provider to publish events to the event log.
ProviderMinimumNumberOfBuffers	Gets the minimum number of buffers used by the event provider to publish events to the event log.
ProviderNames	Gets an enumerable collection of the names of all the event providers that can publish events to this event log.
SecurityDescriptor	Gets or sets the security descriptor of the event log. The security descriptor defines the users and groups of users that can read and write to the event log.
