VBScript Code to Copy the Previous Day’s Event Log Events to a Database

You can use any of the VBScript programs below in ActiveXperts Network Monitor. Click here for an explanation about how to include scripts in ActiveXperts Network Monitor.

Example(s)

Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

objConn.Open "DSN=EventLogs;"
objRS.CursorLocation = 3
objRS.Open "SELECT * FROM EventTable" , objConn, 3, 3

Set dtmStartDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
Set dtmEndDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")

DateToCheck = Date - 1
dtmEndDate.SetVarDate Date, True
dtmStartDate.SetVarDate DateToCheck, True

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent Where TimeWritten >= '" _ 
        & dtmStartDate & "' and TimeWritten < '" & dtmEndDate & "'") 

For each objEvent in colEvents
    objRS.AddNew
    objRS("Category") = objEvent.Category
    objRS("ComputerName") = objEvent.ComputerName
    objRS("EventCode") = objEvent.EventCode
    objRS("Message") = objEvent.Message
    objRS("RecordNumber") = objEvent.RecordNumber
    objRS("SourceName") = objEvent.SourceName
    objRS("TimeWritten") = objEvent.TimeWritten
    objRS("Type") = objEvent.Type
    objRS("User") = objEvent.User
    objRS.Update
Next

objRS.Close
objConn.Close
