EVENTLOG RECORD FORMAT
  For the write operation, eventlogadm expects to be able to read structured
  records from standard input. These records are a sequence of lines, with
  the record key and data separated by a colon character. 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 filtering in the eventlog viewer.

  •

     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.

  •

     STR - The text associated with the eventlog. There may be more than one
     string in a record.

  •

     DAT - This field should be left unset.
