Has anyone stumbled across what permissions you need to eventlog now?  I 
keep getting "Requested registry access is not allowed."

I'm assuming this is a SP2 "fix", since I can't get anyone's example 
code to work.

Thanks,

Likewise. I gave up on custom eventlogs. It would be interesting to hear
anyone's tested solutions.

I have gotten this to work on a past project.  By default, the aspnet user 
has write access to an *existing* event log.  If you need to *create* and 
write to a log, then you need to use a user with admin privileges or give 
the aspnet user admin privileges - neither of these methods are suggested.

To determine what event logs already exist on my server I did the following: 
Open the event viewer, click on "Application", right-click & view 
properties... click the "Filter" tab, then drop down the "Event Source" 
drop-down list.  What you're looking at now is a list of event logs that 
already exist on the machine.  I chose the "Application" event log to write 
to.  C# example code follows, sorry in advance for poor formatting:

(I put my code in the global.asax.cs file for my purposes, within the 
Application_Error method)

protected void Application_Error(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	System.Exception ex = Server.GetLastError();
	string sError = "";

	// Create an EventLog instance and assign it's (existing)source.
	EventLog myLog = new EventLog();
	myLog.Source = "Application";

	if(ex == null)
	{
		myLog.WriteEntry("Unknown error occurred", EventLogEntryType.Error,0);
	}
	else
	{
	// Write an entry to the event log...
		if(ex.InnerException != null)
		{
		        sError += "InnerException.Message:\n" + ex.InnerException.Message 
+ "\n\n";
                        sError += "InnerException.Source:\n" + 
ex.InnerException.Source + "\n\n";
			sError += "InnerException.StackTrace:\n" + ex.InnerException.StackTrace + 
"\n\n";
		}
		sError += "Exception.Message:\n" + ex.Message + "\n\n";
		sError += "Exception.Source:\n" + ex.Source + "\n\n";
		sError += "Exception.StackTrace:\n" + ex.StackTrace + "\n\n";

		// write log
		myLog.WriteEntry(sError,EventLogEntryType.Error,0);

                // I also send email to myself with the above error info
	}
}


Good luck - let me know if this helps.
