This is actually more complex than it sounds, because the event log service requires specific, C-level DLL definitions of event sources. To do this right we would have to install our own, which is surprisingly complex and painful on Windows; you need to build a custom DLL, and install it appropriately for the system, so that you can get your structured events represented appropriately. Doing this "right" would also mean documenting and committing to an external structured event format, not just plain text; we could do a half-baked integration where we just emit text strings, but they are not actually that nice compared to real event data. https://github.com/djberg96/win32-eventlog has details of the integration side of this, and the tooling required to build out an event source definition DLL. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12392: Windows agent default to logging agent run output to Windows Event Logs https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12392 Author: Dan Hogland Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Josh Cooper Category: windows Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Puppet on Windows should default the log output from puppet agent executions are sent to Windows Event Logs.
