17.11. Registering Event Log on Windows
To register a Windows event log library with the operating system, issue this command:
regsvr32 pgsql_library_directory
/pgevent.dll
This creates registry entries used by the event viewer, under the default event source named PostgreSQL
.
To specify a different event source name (see event_source), use the /n
and /i
options:
regsvr32 /n /i:event_source_name
pgsql_library_directory
/pgevent.dll
To unregister the event log library from the operating system, issue this command:
regsvr32 /u [/i:event_source_name
] pgsql_library_directory
/pgevent.dll
Note
To enable event logging in the database server, modify log_destination to include eventlog
in postgresql.conf
.
