Reading Event Logs is something that every admin does or at least should do quite often. When writing PowerShell scripts, you often need to read event logs to find out different things across your infrastructure. But now and then it’s quite the opposite. You need to write something to Event Log so it can be recorded for the future. Sure, you can write your information to log files, but since Windows already has a built-in logging system, it may be much easier to write stuff to event log. This allows you to centralize your event logs and processed by specialized tools like SIEM.
