event log computer name specifies the name of the Windows PC that logs Adaptive Server messages in its Windows Event Log. This feature is available on Windows servers only.

A value of LocalSystem or NULL specifies the default local system.

You can also use the Server Config utility to set the event log computer name parameter by specifying the Event Log Computer Name under Event Logging.

Setting the event log computer name parameter with sp_configure or specifying the Event Log Computer Name under Event Logging overwrites the effects of the command line -G option, if it was specified. If Adaptive Server was started with the -G option, you can change the destination remote machine by setting event log computer name.

For more information about logging Adaptive Server messages to a remote site, see the Configuration Guide for Windows.
