Puppet / PUP-5068 Windows - Allow logging to a different event log Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/08/24 8:05 AM Fix Versions: PUP 4.x Priority: Normal Reporter: Rob Reynolds Logging to the Application Event Log is fine, but in some cases folks may want to log to a custom event log they set up. We should provide an option to pass the event log through the call. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/e0b0d2009af0fc803066368c42a96966dd764f46/ext/windows/service/daemon.rb#L140-L157 Add Comment

Eventually this could be an option passed during install/upgrade that will set the property automatically. That would scope a bit higher.

Re: Windows - Allow logging to a different event log I think this could be handled by a switch in the puppet.conf. If it is missing, it goes to the default location. If it is there, it creates an event log based on the name that is in the conf and then it configures to use it.

Re: Windows - Allow logging to a different event log

Yeah, we've tossed that idea around Rob Reynolds. That incurs a bit of work with reading the INI during upgrade, etc if we intend to also allow it be specified at the command line as an MSI property. The other snag there is that if the configured user doesn't have access to create the event log, then that's a problem - but maybe that's rare and worthy of just a warning because the typical configuration should work.

Re: Windows - Allow logging to a different event log So for the time being, we've decided to not pursue this particular effort as written, by adding a configurable event log destination. Instead, as part of PUP-5756 , Puppet was changed so that should a Puppet event log destination exist, Puppet will automatically log there. There are some more details in the PR at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/5509/files#r135102712 about the technical details of how that works, but the important thing is that users of Puppet 5.0.0 and above may opt-in to this change in behavior by simply registering the event log destination. There are a few ways this can be done: By directly creating the registry keys like: reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Puppet\Puppet /v EventMessageFile /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\puppetres.dll" By using the PowerShell helper: New-EventLog -Source Puppet -LogName Puppet -MessageResource "C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\puppetres.dll" By pushing out the reg keys via GPO (can be done prior to bootstrapping the agent install or after the agent has installed) By using Puppet resources - a cmd based exec that runs reg.exe OR a PowerShell exec that runs New-EventLog OR registry resources (from the registry module) This allows us to enable the feature without making any additional code changes to Puppet which is the ideal solution for now. Note that PUP-7914 was added for the Puppet 5.2.0 release to make sure a release note appears, so users know to look at updated documentation.
