Event logging for Microsoft Windows provides a standard, centralized way for applications and the operating system to record important software and hardware events. The event-logging service (eventlog) stores events from various sources in a single collection called an event log. The system administrator can use the event log to help determine what conditions caused the error and the context in which it occurred. TechTarget have an excellent overview of Windows event logs available.
