I've writing an NT service (on Vista) that will perform various housekeeping
activities throughout the day. This will be used by others in my
organization. To assist in the inevitable troubleshooting, I'd like the
service to log various error and status messages - so I can keep tabs on
what the service has done.
Is the Windows EventLog the appropriate place to store this information? Or
is that generally used for other things? I could obviously write my own
logging system, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if that's exactly what
the EventLog is there for.
