My goal is to get the amount of EventLog Entries of a specific Log with a small powershell script. The amount should be converted to a variable.

Now I am at a point that I really dont know how to accomplish this. Can you help? Maybe there is an Option in Get-WinEvent?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sure, the -ListLog parameter will help you get a count. Here are some examples

A specific log (eg: Application)

$ApplicationLogsCount = (Get-WinEvent -ListLog Application).RecordCount

All logs

$AllLogs = Get-WinEvent -ListLog * | Select LogName,RecordCount

All non-empty logs

$AllNonEmptyLogs = Get-WinEvent -ListLog * | Select LogName,RecordCount | Where-Object -Property RecordCount -gt 0
