eventcreate
: This is the command-line tool used to create a new event./l ${log_name}
: Specifies the name of the event log where the event will be created.${log_name}
is a variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the event log./t ${type}

is a variable that should be replaced with one of the following values:ERROR
,WARNING
,INFORMATION

eventcreate /l Application /t ERROR /id 1000 /d "An error occurred"
