title: How long does Windows store event logs from a Windows Service
body: <p>I'm using the Windows Event Log to record logs from a custom Windows Service.</p>
  <p>If I need to read a log of say, yesterday, I go to the EventViewer, look for my EventLog and read it. But I'm afraid of what would happen if I needed to access a log from months or even years ago. Is it possible? How long does Windows store my logs? Is it configurable from my Service?</p>
  <p>Should I use a third-party logger like NLog, which might be better than the Windows Event Log for my service?</p>
