I think you want Event Tracing for Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968803(VS.85).aspx

That would be the Windows Event Logging API for Vista and later: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385780%28VS.85%29.aspx

Or for pre-Vista, you want the just-plain Event Logging API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363652%28VS.85%29.aspx
