Dynamics AX 2009: Write to eventlog entry

Our client requested to keep track of all Dynamics AX system errors during the User Acceptance Testing. I use the application event logs to store the information.

The following code shows you how to write event log entry with X++:

Create a new class AX_EventLog with a static method WriteEventLog:

static void WriteEventLog(Exception _exception, str _event)

{

str eventSource = "AX event";

str logType = "Application";

System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType eventLogEntryType;

int eventCategory = 9999;

;

switch(_exception)

{

case Exception::Info:

eventLogEntryType = System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Information;

break;

case Exception::Warning:

eventLogEntryType = System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Warning;

break;

default:

eventLogEntryType = System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType::Error;

}

if (!System.Diagnostics.EventLog::Exists(eventSource))

{

System.Diagnostics.EventLog::CreateEventSource(eventSource, logType);

}

System.Diagnostics.EventLog::WriteEntry(eventSource, _event, eventLogEntryType, eventCategory);

}

In the Info class,



Exception add(

Exception _exception,

str _txt,

str _helpUrl = ”,

SysInfoAction _sysInfoAction = null,

boolean buildprefix = true)

{

…

AX_EventLog::WriteEventLog(_exception, _txt);

…

}

Here we go, event log entry…
