**Table 1** APIs for application event logging
When an asynchronous callback is used, the return value can be processed directly in the callback. When a promise is used, the return value can also be processed in the promise in a similar way. For details about the result codes, see [Event Verification Result Codes](#event-verification-result-codes).

**Table 2** APIs for event logging configuration
When an asynchronous callback is used, the return value can be processed directly in the callback.

## Development Procedure
The following uses a one-time event watcher as an example to illustrate the development procedure.
1. Create an eTS application project. In the displayed **Project** window, choose **entry** > **src** > **main** > **ets** > **pages** > **index.ets**, and double-click **index.ets**. Then, add three buttons to simulate the process of watching for application events. Wherein, button 1 is used to invoke application event logging, button 2 to add an event watcher that automatically triggers a callback, and button 3 to remove the watcher. The complete sample code is as follows:
// 4. Set the maximum size of the event file storage directory. The default value is 10M.
hiAppEvent.configure({
maxStorage:'100M'
});
Button("3 removeWatcherTest").onClick(()=>{
hiAppEvent.removeWatcher({
name:"watcher1"
})
})
}
.width('100%')
}
.height('100%')
}
}
```
2. Tap the run button on the application UI to run the project.
2. Touch the run button on the IDE to run the project.
3. Touch button 1 on the application UI to start application event logging. If the logging is successful, you'll see the following message in the **Log** window:
```
success to write event: 0
```
4. On the application UI, touch button 2 to add an event watcher, and touch button 1 for multiple times to perform application event logging. If any callback trigger condition (event count, event data size, and timeout duration) is met, the event watcher will invoke a callback and the event package obtained through the callback will be displayed in the **Log** window.
5. On the application UI, touch button 3 to remove the event watcher. Then, touch button 1 for multiple times to perform application event logging. In such a case, there will be no log information about the callback invoked by the event watcher.
## Samples
The following sample is provided to help you better understand how to develop the application event logging feature:
HiAppEvent provides event logging APIs for applications to log the fault, statistical, security, and user behavior events reported during running. Based on event information, you will be able to analyze the running status of your application.
The HiAppEvent module of OpenHarmony can be used to develop application event services and provide functions related to application events, including flushing application events to a disk and querying historical application event data.
