This topic describes the key concepts of Log Engine.

+
Purpose

Used to record events of interest to the +user, of which they may not be immediately aware, or of high importance as +costs are incurred, such as telephone calls. These events can be retrieved +by a viewer application and displayed to the user.

+
Architectural relationships

The Log Engine is split +into a wrapper (a stub interface) that is present on all UI variants, and +an actual logging DLL that may or may not be present. On UI variants on which +the actual logging engine is not present, calls to the wrapper will have no +effect. Programs written for multiple UI variants should use the wrapper only. +Programs for a particular UI variant on which the log engine is present can +use it directly.

+
Description

The API has five key concepts: log +engine wrapper, log client, event, view, and filter.

Log +engine wrapper

The log engine wrapper provides simple interfaces +to record events, and is present on all UI variants. The wrapper interfaces +are CLogWrapper and CLogBase.

Log client

The log client is the main direct interface on +the log engine. It is used to add, delete, and change log events, and allows +log administration. It is also used to create filtered views of events.

The +log client interface is CLogClient.

Event

A log event is an entry in the log. Events have a fixed +number of data fields, though some fields do not apply to all events.

The +event interface is CLogEvent.

View

A view allows a filtered list of events to be accessed. +Views are provided for the main event log (CLogViewEvent) +and for recent events only (CLogViewRecent).

Filter

A filter specifies the type of events that appear +in a view. The filter interface is CLogFilter.
