EventLog - Get available logs

Question

Using the following code, I'm able to display all entries listed under the "Application" log:

EventLog appLog = new EventLog();
appLog.Log = "Application";
appLog.MachineName = ".";  

foreach (EventLogEntry entry in appLog.Entries)
{
 // process
}  

Since I have no FTP o RDP access to the server, is there any way to get a list of all available logs, beside "Application"? Some logs are standard but new ones can be added by users/applications.

Answer 1

Run:

var d = EventLog.GetEventLogs();
        foreach(EventLog l in d)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(l.LogDisplayName);
        }

If you want to see all the names. They are stored in an array.

EDIT: To do work the way you have it set up use:

var d = EventLog.GetEventLogs();
        foreach(EventLog l in d)
        {
            foreach (EventLogEntry entry in l.Entries)
            {
                // process
            }  
        }
