Write to event log with Python

      
    import win32evtlogutil
    import win32evtlog

    # Here we define our event source and category, which we consider static throughout
    # the application. You can change this if the category is different

    eventDetails = {‘Source’: ‘MyApp’,    # this is id from the message file
    ‘Category’: 1}        # which was set aside for the category

    # Call this function to log an event
    def logMessage(eventID, eventType, message, eventDetails):
    if type(message) == type(str()):
    message = (message,)
    win32evtlogutil.ReportEvent(eventDetails[‘Source’], eventID, eventDetails[‘Category’], eventType, tuple(message))

    logMessage(100, win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, (“Database Backup”, “Monitoring Database”), eventDetails)
    logMessage(102, win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, (“Step 1/3 complete”), eventDetails)
