<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have .evt log files that are collected with other data for analysis. I am building an asp.net/vb2010 web app to parse all this data. I am trying to find a way to convert the .evt files to csv or xml, or really any format other than binary. even a program that runs on the server that I could call and pass variables to would work just fine.<br />
<br />
I have been trying to do this with powershell and LogParser and have been unsuccesful. It seems those tools only want to allow you to parse/convert the logs from your system or from a remote system that is accessible to the system you are running the tools on. This is not the case for me.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Convert Event Log (.evt) to .csv with powershell or LogParser

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Powershell

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
