The event log computer name parameter specifies the name of the Windows NT PC that logs Adaptive Server messages in its Windows NT Event Log. You can use this parameter to have Adaptive Server messages logged to a remote machine. This feature is available on Windows NT 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 the event log computer name parameter.
