Open event viewer from a certain node

Question

What is the command to open windows event viewer displaying a particular node details?

For example if I simply use eventvwr command; it opens the UI with Root Node selected. I want Application node selected when it is opened OR any other node.

Can it be configured programatically?

Thanks.

Answer 1

To view the eventvwr.exe arguments simply type:

eventvwr /?

To specifically open the Application log use the command below:

eventvwr computername /l:"%SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\Application.evtx"
