Is there an event log source that’s always available for writing by an ASP.NET webapp?
Backstory, in case anyone has a seemingly unrelated solution:
Our ASP.NET webapp uses its own event log source, but it doesn’t have the rights to create it. So, if the event log source doesn’t exist when the webapp tries to write the entry (install instructions dictate that the admin register the event log source manually, but……) , our webapp doesn’t put anything in the event log when it has problems.
I’m hoping there’s another (app-agnostic) source I can use to notify the folks who watch the event log.
The “ASP.NET X.Y.Z.0” source will, I think, always be available for writing.
