Hi,

Can I have EventLogWebEventProvider published event log entries as error
with red icon? (it publishes them as warning with yellow icons by default)

I also like EventLogWebEventProvider to publish entries to a separated
category node within event viewer's left hand side group tree. (It uses
application group by default) Is that possible?

Thank you,
Max

Hi Max,

Regarding on the EventLogWebEventProvider, I have performed some
investigation on it and it seems the underlying EventLog writing code is
encapsulated in a unamanged API (called in EventLogWebEventProvider through
PInvoke). e.g.

=====the code from reflector=========
......................
      }
   }
   int num = UnsafeNativeMethods.RaiseEventlogEvent((int) type, (string[])
dataFields.ToArray(typeof(string)), dataFields.Count);
   if (num != 0)
   {
       throw new HttpException(SR.GetString("Event_log_provider_error",
new object[] { "0x" + num.ToString("X8", CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture)
}));
   }
}
====================

So far I'm afraid the built-in properties can not customize this behavior.
If you do need to change the output eventlog entry's level, I think one
possible approach is writing a custom EventLogProvider and call your own
unmanaged API to write EventLog.
