Event Log Explorer can export events into Excel, HTML, CSV and PDF files. The export is implemented as an option of user interface and it can be scheduled using internal Event Log Explorer scheduler. Some time ago, I wrote a couple of articles how to schedule export of events into Excel: https:\/\/eventlogxp.com\/blog\/exporting-event-logs-with-windows-powershell\/<\/a>

Both\nmethods are not without drawbacks. The Powershell method doesn’t work well with\nmulti-line descriptions, and Event Log Explorer scheduler requires you to have\nEvent Log Explorer running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why\nwe are removing the scheduler from Event Log Explorer and releasing a new command-line\nutility to export events into document files. LogExport<\/strong> utility will be\nincluded with new Event Log Explorer 5 and it’s designed to export Event Log\nExplorer tasks (special event views). However, you can use it even right now to\nexport the whole event logs or log files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LogExport utility (beta version) is available for download at
https:\/\/eventlogxp.com\/download\/logexport.exe<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it comes as a part of Event Log Explorer Enterprise Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LogExport can save your events in Microsoft Excel (XLSX), Open Document (ODS), CSV, HTML and PDF files. As a console utility, you can schedule it with Task Manager. The command-line interface is clear and well documented. The usage details are available when you run the utility without parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To export local\nSecurity log into Excel file, just run it as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

logexport \/LOGNAME:Security\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note that you\nmay need to run it as administrator to access the security log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To export\nApplication log from server SERV1 into App.pdf file, run it as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
logexport \/HOST:SERV1\n\/LOGNAME:Security \/TARGET:PDF \/TFILE:App.pdf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To export file\nC:\\Logs\\Systembackup.evtx into a set of HTML pages, run<\/p>\n\n\n\n
logexport \/LOGNAME:\"C:\\Logs\\Systembackup.evtx\" \/TARGET:HTML<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
We are\nwaiting for your comments, suggestions and bugreport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
