Chapter 22. Working with Logs

A common administrative task is checking or examining event logs. Event logs contain useful information about the execution of the Windows system, of applications on a machine and whether any security issues have occurred. The event logs have a series of categories (entry types) that indicate the significance of the event being logged.

Windows PowerShell version 1.0 provides one cmdlet that supports event logs: the get-eventlog cmdlet, which displays information from the local machine.
