18.12. 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
.
