What would keep records from not being written to the event log?

This is the code I am using:
  Dim elc As New DotNetNuke.Services.Log.EventLog.EventLogController()
  elc.AddLog("Name", sMsg, PortalSettings, -1, DotNetNuke.Services.Log.EventLog.EventLogController.EventLogType.ADMIN_ALERT)

The code writes records to the event log in two DNN v04.08.02 portals, but does not work in a v05.02.01 portal. (In the past, this v05 portal has experienced some security issues. I don’t know if this is related to the event log problem.)

I would be grateful for any ideas.

Thanks!

there was an issue in older version of dotnetnuke where all issues were logged by default , ignoring the log type settings. This was resolved and changed back to the correct default (i.e. unlogged), so you must set up any event log types you need logged. AFAIR we updated the list of log entries in a recent version so I'd also recommend you upgrade to at least 5.2.3. Log in as the host (superuser) user. Go to the Admin -> Event viewer page. This will show a list of currently logged entries, and provide some filtering options as well as the ability to remove entries. Either hover over the downarrow icon to the left of the module title, or else scroll to the bottom of the page, and select the "Edit log settings" option. When this page opens you'll have the ability to edit existing settings or add a new log setting (e.g. perhaps for an event that is currently not logged).

Thanks so much for your thoughtful response.

I played with the Event Log Settings, ensuring the "Admin Alert" setting was actually being recorded. It was already "on" and tweaking the settings still did not record anything to the event log.

This problem seems to be localized to this one DNN site. It works fine on my development machine which is running the same DNN v5.2 code. Other events are being recorded; e.g., log in success, general exceptions.

Is there anything else I can check that might be site-specific? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I just figured it out...

The EventLogType.ADMIN_ALERT constant is wrong in the PA module I am using. The value is 37 and it should be 38 (not sure why it is different, but this is definitely the problem). The alerts are not being recorded because the value of 38 is the "Scheduler Stopped" log type. I added the scheduler log type to the event log settings and the messages started showing up.

Thanks for your help in leading me down the path to a fix.
