如何将.evtx事件日志转换为csv

Question

我的Windows服务需要将一个事件日志的内容保存到文件中.这是由EventLogSession.ClearLog完成的.但是,我无法强制它直接将事件日志保存到CSV.保存的格式为EVTX.

            EventLogSession els = new EventLogSession();

            //stel de filename samen door het appdata pad te combinen met een tempfile name
            string tempData = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "templog.csv");
            // Clears all the events and archives them to the .evtx file

            els.ClearLog(eventLogName, tempData); //  Backup File Path

如何强制EventlogSession类直接保存到CSV,或者,如果这是不可能的.如何将EVTX转换为CSV(使用C#或VB.net)

谢谢!

Answer 1

使用Log Parser提供的API非常容易.

下载并安装Log Parser 2.2

添加对COM库"MS Utility 1.0类型库 - LogParser接口集合"的引用.搜索Log非常显着地缩小了列表范围.

更改Reference的属性,使其不嵌入Interop Types.如果不这样做,您将收到如下编译错误:无法嵌入Interop类型'MSUtil.COMCSVOutputContextClassClass'.请改用适用的界面.

LogParser帮助文件的内容对API有很好的参考,但我已经包含了我在代码中内联使用的部分.

using System;
using MSUtil;

namespace LogParserTest
{
 using LogQuery = LogQueryClassClass;
 using EventLogInput = COMEventLogInputContextClassClass;
 using CSVOutput = COMCSVOutputContextClassClass;
 using XMLOutput = COMXMLOutputContextClassClass;

 class Program
 {
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
   try
   {
    // Instantiate the LogQuery object
    LogQuery oLogQuery = new LogQuery();

    // Instantiate the Event Log Input Format object
    EventLogInput eventInputFormat = new EventLogInput();

    // When set to "FW", events are retrieved from the oldest to the 
    // newest. When set to "BW", events are retrieved from the newest 
    // to the oldest.
    eventInputFormat.direction = "FW"; 

    // Event text messages often span multiple lines. When this parameter
    // is set to "ON", the EVT input format preserves readability of the 
    // messages by removing carriage-return, line-feed, and multiple space
    // characters from the message text.
    // When this parameter is set to "OFF", the EVT input format returns
    // the original message text with no intervening post-processing. 
    eventInputFormat.formatMessage = true;

    eventInputFormat.binaryFormat = "ASC";
    eventInputFormat.stringsSep = ",";

    CSVOutput csvOutputFormat = new CSVOutput();

    // ON: always write the header; 
    // OFF: never write the header; 
    // AUTO: write the header only when not appending to an existing file. 
    csvOutputFormat.headers = "ON"; 

    // Setting this parameter to "ON" causes the CSV output format to write
    // a tab character after each comma field separator, in order to 
    // improve readability of the CSV output. Note that using tabs between
    // field values might generate output that is not compatible with 
    // certain spreadsheet applications. 
    csvOutputFormat.tabs = false;

    // ON: always enclose field values within double-quote characters; 
    // OFF: never enclose field values within double-quote characters; 
    // AUTO: enclose within double-quote characters only those field 
    //    values that contain comma (,) characters. 
    csvOutputFormat.oDQuotes = "AUTO";

    // This parameter specifies the date and/or time format to use when
    // formatting values of the TIMESTAMP data type.
    csvOutputFormat.oTsFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";

    // 0 is the system codepage, -1 is UNICODE. 
    csvOutputFormat.oCodepage = -1;

    // 0: existing files are appended with the output; 
    // 1: existing files are overwritten with the output; 
    // 2: existing files are left intact, discarding the output. 
    csvOutputFormat.fileMode = 1;

    /*
    EventLog     STRING  Name of the Event Log or Event Log backup file 
    RecordNumber   INTEGER  Index of this event
    TimeGenerated   TIMESTAMP Event generated date/time (local time)

    string query = @"SELECT TOP 10 EventLog, RecordNumber, Message INTO "
    // Enclose path in single ticks to handle spaces.
    query += "'" + FullPathToCsv + "' FROM "; 
    // Name of application Log, System, Security, Application, CustomLogName
    query += "System";     
    oLogQuery.ExecuteBatch(query, eventInputFormat, csvOutputFormat);
   }
   catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex)
   {
    Console.WriteLine("Unexpected error: " + ex.Message);
   }
  }
 }
}

Answer 2

这个 Powershell 函数是我能找到的最高效的。不是 C# 代码，但我认为它可能有用。它需要一个文件名 (evtx) 或 Powershell 中的文件名变量数组，如下所示：

[数组]$filelist = "文件1", "文件2", "文件3"

Function Convert-Logs3 {
[cmdletbinding()]
Param(
$filelist=$NULL
)
$filelist | foreach-object {
Get-WinEvent -Path "$PSItem"| Select RecordID,ID,TimeCreated, Message | export-csv - ``notypeinformation -path $(write "$PSItem.csv");
[System.gc]::collect();

}}

事实证明，现有的所有解决方案都不能满足我的要求。我只是想要一个以 evtx 作为输入并导出 csv 的工具。不多不少。我自己建了一个，效果很好。它称为 EVTX2CSV
