Log viewer app?  How quaint.  Sounds like something Windows would use.

And then, instead of using stock system tools (e.g. as noted above), you end
up with something like this:

   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385785(v=vs.85).aspx

   The following are the programming elements that you use to create an
   instrumentation manifest, create resources from the manifest that your
   provider uses, get instrumentation metadata at run time, and query events
   from channels and log files:

   -  EventManifest Schema
   -  Event Schema
   -  Query Schema
   -  Windows Event Log Constants
   -  Windows Event Log Data Types
   -  Windows Event Log Enumerations
   -  Windows Event Log Functions
   -  Windows Event Log Structures
   -  Windows Event Log Tools

And here's just the function page:

Windows... the Rube Goldberg OS.
