Explanation:
Event logs have been a feature of Windows NT since its original release in 1993. Applications and operating system components can make use of this centralized log service to report events that have taken place, such as a failure to start a component or complete an action. The system defines three log sources, “System”, “Application”, and “Security”. The System and Application log sources are intended for use by the Windows operating system and Windows applications respectively; the Security log source, however, is only directly writable by the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass.exe). Event Viewer is a component of Microsoft’s Windows NT line of operating systems that lets administrators and users view the event logs on a local or remote machine.
