       acter. Records are separated by at least one or more blank line.

       The event log record field are:

          LEN - This field should be 0, since eventlogadm will calculate this value.

          RS1 - This must be the value 1699505740.

          RCN - This field should be 0.

          TMG - The time the eventlog record was generated; format is the number of seconds since  00:00:00
          January 1, 1970, UTC.

           TMW  -  The time the eventlog record was written; format is the number of seconds since 00:00:00
          January 1, 1970, UTC.

          EID - The eventlog ID.

          ETP - The event type -- one of "INFO", "ERROR", "WARNING", "AUDIT SUCCESS" or "AUDIT FAILURE".

          ECT - The event category; this depends on the message file. It is primarily used as  a  means  of

          RS2 - This field should be 0.

          CRN - This field should be 0.

          USL - This field should be 0.

           SRC  -  This  field contains the source name associated with the event log. If a message file is
          used with an event log, there will be a registry entry for associating this  source  name  with  a
          message file DLL.

           SRN  -  he  name  of the machine on which the eventlog was generated. This is typically the host
          name.

       An example of the record format accepted by eventlogadm:


            LEN: 0
            RS1: 1699505740
            RCN: 0
            TMG: 1128631322
            TMW: 1128631322
            EID: 1000
            ETP: INFO
            ECT: 0
            RS2: 0
            CRN: 0
            USL: 0
            SRC: cron
            SRN: dmlinux
            STR: (root) CMD ( rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly)
            DAT:


       Set up an eventlog source, specifying a message file DLL:


            eventlogadm -o addsource Application MyApplication | \
                 %SystemRoot%/system32/MyApplication.dll


       Filter messages from the system log into an event log:


            tail -f /var/log/messages | \
                 my_program_to_parse_into_eventlog_records | \
                      eventlogadm SystemLogEvents
