Event logging is a facility used by computer systems to record the occurrence of significant events. An "event" is any change that occurs in a system-for example, a user logon, an addition to a file, a change to a user's privileges, or an application program error. Windows NT Event Logging describes NT event logging for system administrators who use event logging as a tool for analyzing performance and troubleshooting system problems, for Win 32 programmers using the event logging API from C, Visual Basic 5, Perl 5 for Win32, Visual J++, C++/MFC, and for security administrators who use event logging to specify and audit security-related events. It is the only book on the market completely devoted to the increasingly important topic of event logging.
The book comes with a CD-ROM containing examples from the book and many contributed event logging and auditing software packages.
