> The EventLog supports Categories for each message. A category is a short integer.
> This could either be implemented as a fixed category value defined on the appender at config time, or as a
value read from the LoggingEvent properties. The second option is more flexible as it allows the category
to be specified for each message, a default category could still be specified in the appender
configuration to allow for scenario 1 as well.
