[logback-user] Logging to NT Event Log

[David Roussel]

Shahar,

I don't think there are any design constraints. If you already have an implementation, just wrap it in an appender, and reference it from your logback.xml.

Each event type has a template message and points for values to be inserted. Then log events just specify the type and the data points.
