java事件管理器,如何从Java访问Windows事件查看器日志数据

Is there any way to access the Windows Event Log from a java class. Has anyone written any APIs for this, and would there be any way to access the data from a remote machine?

The scenario is:

I run a process on a remote machine, from a controlling Java process.

This remote process logs stuff to the Event Log, which I want to be able to see in the controlling process.

Thanks in advance.

On the Java side, you'll need a library that allows you to make native calls. Sun offers JNI, but it sounds like sort of a pain. Also consider:

On the Windows side, the function you're after is OpenEventLog. This should allow you to access a remote event log. See also Querying for Event Information.

If that doesn't sound right, I also found this for parsing the log files directly (not an approach I'd recommend but interesting nonetheless):
