Hello all,
I have created two custom event logs for my ASP .NET web applications. For now, let's call them Log A and Log B. For some reason, whenever one of my programs writes an error to Log A, the error will show up in both Log A and Log B.
If I try to write an error to Log A, the error will show up in Log A as it should, with the proper description :
Description :
This error should appear in Log A.
However, it will also show up in Log B, with a description that looks like this :
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( MySource ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: This error should appear in Log A.
I've looked in the registry, and the logs have different Files specified: /windows/system32/config/LogA.evt and /windows/system32/config/LogB.evt. Strangely, though, when I look in /windows/system32/config/ I don't see either LogA.evt or LogB.evt. Instead, I see a file that had previously been used for one of the log files, LogA_OLD.evt. This file should no longer be in use by anything, but when I try to delete it, Windows prevents me, and tells me that the file is in use by somebody.
The most frustrating part is that we have a staging web server that is set up identically to the production server - same registry keys for the event logs. However, I don't have this problem on my staging web server - the right errors always make it to the right event logs, and all the .evt files show up in /windows/system32/config/ like they should.
Any idea what could be going on?
