I want to read windows events for all journals using java class via JNI. It is possible using java and c/c++, if yes how? where can I find the guide link and is there any predefined API that Microsoft has exposed and we can consume those API directly?

Hello,

>>I want to read windows events for all journals using java class via JNI. It is possible using java and c/c++, if yes how? where can I find the guide link and is there any predefined API that Microsoft has exposed and we can consume those API directly?

Do you mean that you want to read the Windows Event Logs? If so, maybe you should learn more about the Window Event APIs. Here is a link.

You could refer to this link to learn more about how to call Windows API method from Java.

And seems that using JNA should be easier than JNI. More links here.
