Re: [python-win32] Python parser for Windows Event Logs

[Mark Hammond]

Check out the ReadEventLog code in win32evtlogutil.py - you will notice 
you need a loop like:

        while 1:
            objects = win32evtlog.ReadEventLog(h, readFlags, 0)
            if not objects:
                break

Ok, I'm able to parse Event51 logs now.

However, there seems to be a problem with the  object returned from
ReadEventLogs()

GetNumberOfEvents() tells me there are 6 events.

I can see all sixe events using the EventViewer in Control Panle, on Widnwos XP.

However, the iterator returned from RedEvent Log() is consumned after
only 3 events.

     hand=win32evtlog.OpenBackupEventLog(None,logFilename)
     numEvents=win32evtlog.GetNumberOfEventLogRecords(hand)
     print'\n\t%lu events were found' % numEvents
     flags = 
win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ|win32evtlog.EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ
     events=win32evtlog.ReadEventLog(hand,flags,0)

     for ev_obj in events:
          #stops iterating after only 3 events

Would someone verify this?

I see this problem on Python 2.3 and 2.5.4, with Pywin32 Build 213


Thanks
