Modify the Event Log Source name for an SSIS package

votes

I have an SQL Server integration Services (SSIS) package using the standard Event Log provider (yes, the event log! I know we can use SQL etc...)

The default "Source" of the log events is "SQLISPackage100" but I want it to be something like "AppName" so that the errors are more visible between the different packages when viewing the event log (also for MOM use).

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:    SQLISPackage100
Event Category:  None
...
Description:
  Package "Foo" failed.

I hope the answer is simple, I simply cannot find it, but does anyone know how to change the text of the Event Log Source name to something more meaningful?

PK :-)

Same problem: have you found a solution? - MADMap
No - we just put up with the non-descript name. The problem is disappearing as we are moving away from the SSIS solution soon anyway... :o| - Paul Kohler
7 years later and this is the only place I can even find someone asking how to do this - sigh! - ozz

Have you changed the name of the package in the package properties?
