- =head1 NAME
-
- Win32::EventLog - Process Win32 Event Logs from Perl
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Win32::EventLog
- $handle=Win32::EventLog->new("Application");
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- This module implements most of the functionality available from the
- Win32 API for accessing and manipulating Win32 Event Logs. The access
- to the EventLog routines is divided into those that relate to an
- EventLog object and its associated methods and those that relate other
- EventLog tasks (like adding an EventLog record).
-
- =head1 The EventLog Object and its Methods
-
- The following methods are available to open, read, close and backup
- EventLogs.
-
- =over 4
-
- =item Win32::EventLog->new(SOURCENAME [,SERVERNAME]);
-
- The new() method creates a new EventLog object and returns a handle
- to it. This hande is then used to call the methods below.
-
- The method is overloaded in that if the supplied SOURCENAME
- argument contains one or more literal '\' characters (an illegal
- character in a SOURCENAME), it assumes that you are trying to open
- a backup eventlog and uses SOURCENAME as the backup eventlog to
- open. Note that when opening a backup eventlog, the SERVERNAME
- argument is ignored (as it is in the underlying Win32 API). For
- EventLogs on remote machines, the SOURCENAME parameter must
- therefore be specified as a UNC path.
-
- =item $handle->Backup(FILENAME);
-
- The Backup() method backs up the EventLog represented by $handle. It
- takes a single arguemt, FILENAME. When $handle represents an
- EventLog on a remote machine, FILENAME is filename on the remote
- machine and cannot be a UNC path (i.e you must use F<C:\TEMP\App.EVT>).
- The method will fail if the log file already exists.
-
- =item $handle->Read(FLAGS, OFFSET, HASHREF);
-
- The Read() method read an EventLog entry from the EventLog represented
- by $handle.
-
- =item $handle->Close();
-
- The Close() method closes the EventLog represented by $handle. After
- Close() has been called, any further attempt to use the EventLog
- represented by $handle will fail.
-
- =item $handle->GetOldest(SCALARREF);
-
- The GetOldest() method number of the the oldest EventLog record in
- the EventLog represented by $handle. This is required to correctly
- compute the OFFSET required by the Read() method.
-
- =item $handle->GetNumber(SCALARREF);
-
- The GetNumber() method returns the number of EventLog records in
- the EventLog represented by $handle. The number of the most recent
- record in the EventLog is therefore computed by
-
- $handle->GetOldest($oldest);
- $handle->GetNumber($lastRec);
- $lastRecOffset=$oldest+$lastRec;
-
- =item $handle->Clear(FILENAME);
-
- The Clear() method clears the EventLog represented by $handle. If
- you provide a non-null FILENAME, the EventLog will be backed up
- into FILENAME before the EventLog is cleared. The method will fail
- if FILENAME is specified and the file refered to exists. Note also
- that FILENAME specifies a file local to the machine on which the
- EventLog resides and cannot be specified as a UNC name.
-
- =item $handle->Report(HASHREF);
-
- The Report() method generates an EventLog entry. The HASHREF should
- contain the following keys:
-
- =over 4
-
- =item C<Computer>
-
- The C<Computer> field specfies which computer you want the EventLog
- entry recorded. If this key doesn't exist, the server name used to
- create the $handle is used.
-
- =item C<Source>
-
- The C<Source> field specifies the source that generated the EventLog
- entry. If this key doesn't exist, the source name used to create the
- $handle is used.
-
- =item C<EventType>
-
- The C<EventType> field should be one of the constants
-
- =over 4
-
- =item C<EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE>
-
- An Error event is being logged.
-
- =item C<EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE>
-
- A Warning event is being logged.
-
- =item C<EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE>
-
- An Information event is being logged.
-
- =item C<EVENTLOG_AUDIT_SUCCESS>
-
- A Success Audit event is being logged (typically in the Security
- EventLog).
-
- =item C<EVENTLOG_AUDIT_FAILURE>
-
- A Failure Audit event is being logged (typically in the Security
- EventLog).
-
- =back
-
- These constants are exported into the main namespace by default.
-
- =item C<Category>
-
- The C<Category> field can have any value you want. It is specific to
- the particular Source.
-
- =item C<EventID>
-
- The C<EventID> field should contain the ID of the message that this
- event pertains too. This assumes that you have an associated message
- file (indirectly referenced by the field C<Source>).
-
- =item C<Data>
-
- The C<Data> field contains raw data associated with this event.
-
- =item C<Strings>
-
- The C<Strings> field contains the single string that itself contains
- NUL terminated sub-strings. This are used with the EventID to generate
- the message as seen from (for example) the Event Viewer application.
-
- =back
-
- =back
-
- =head1 Other Win32::EventLog functions.
-
- The following functions are part of the Win32::EventLog package but
- are not callable from an EventLog object.
-
- =over 4
-
- =item GetMessageText(HASHREF);
-
- The GetMessageText() function assumes that HASHREF was obtained by
- a call to C<$handle-E<gt>Read()>. It returns the formatted string that
- represents the fully resolved text of the EventLog message (such as
- would be seen in the Windows NT Event Viewer). For convenience, the
- key 'Message' in the supplied HASHREF is also set to the return value
- of this function.
-
- If you set the variable $Win32::EventLog::GetMessageText to 1 then
- each call to C<$handle-E<gt>Read()> will call this function automatically.
-
- =back
-
- =head1 Example 1
-
- The following example illustrates the way in which the EventLog module
- can be used. It opens the System EventLog and reads through it from
- oldest to newest records. For each record from the B<Source> EventLog
- it extracts the full text of the Entry and prints the EventLog message
- text out.
-
- use Win32::EventLog;
-
- $handle=Win32::EventLog->new("System", $ENV{ComputerName})
- or die "Can't open Application EventLog\n";
- $handle->GetNumber($recs)
- or die "Can't get number of EventLog records\n";
- $handle->GetOldest($base)
- or die "Can't get number of oldest EventLog record\n";
-
- while ($x < $recs) {
- $handle->Read(EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ|EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ,
- $base+$x,
- $hashRef)
- or die "Can't read EventLog entry #$x\n";
- if ($hashRef->{Source} eq "EventLog") {
- Win32::EventLog::GetMessageText($hashRef);
- print "Entry $x: $hashRef->{Message}\n";
- }
- $x++;
- }
-
- =head1 Example 2
-
- To backup and clear the EventLogs on a remote machine, do the following :-
-
- use Win32::EventLog;
-
- $myServer="\\\\my-server"; # your servername here.
- my($date)=join("-", ((split(/\s+/, scalar(localtime)))[0,1,2,4]));
- my($dest);
-
- for my $eventLog ("Application", "System", "Security") {
- $handle=Win32::EventLog->new($eventLog, $myServer)
- or die "Can't open Application EventLog on $myServer\n";
-
- $dest="C:\\BackupEventLogs\\$eventLog\\$date.evt";
- $handle->Backup($dest)
- or warn "Could not backup and clear the $eventLog EventLog on $myServer ($^E)\n";
-
- $handle->Close;
- }
-
- Note that only the Clear method is required. Note also that if the
- file $dest exists, the function will fail.
-
- =head1 BUGS
-
- None currently known.
-
- The test script for 'make test' should be re-written to use the
- EventLog object.
