Write to Event Logs

Question

Wondering how to write something to the event logs in version 9.0

Rhys Godfrey · Answer

In C# code you can get the IEventLog API and then call Write, for example: 
 var log = Apis.Get<IEventLog>();

var options = new EventLogEntryWriteOptions {
 Category = "Your Category Name",
 EventId = 1, // Your Event Id
 EventType = "Information"; // Or "Warning" or "Error"
};

log.Write("Your Message", options); 
 In Velocity code: 
 #set($category = "Your Category")
#set($eventId = 1) ## Your Event Id
#set($eventType = "Information") ## Or "Warning" or "Error"

$core_v2_eventLog.Write("Your Message", "%{Category = $category, EventId = $eventId, EventType = $eventType}") 
 Hope this helps!
