Event IDs
Every event contains information on what action occurred as well as related information. The Event ID is the unique identifier for particular types of events that occur on Windows machines.

Because there is an unmanageable number of different event IDs, there are few reliable single sources for information to help decrypt them. The resources below are the best available.
