Question

I am now trying to report event log to windows, right now I am using win32evtlogutil


        win32evtlogutil.ReportEvent(
            app_name, app_event_id,
            eventCategory=app_event_category,
            eventType=event_type,
            strings=[str(message)], data=app_event_data
        )

As of Windows XP SP2+ ReportEvent() cannot be used to report security events. You must use the Windows API AuthzReportSecurityEvent() function. PyWin32 does not have a convenience binding for this function, so you would need to write the binding yourself.

@HongliBu: Yes, use "System" as the 1st argument (app_name) for win32evtlogutil.ReportEvent. Related: stackoverflow.com/questions/51385195/….
