I have made an MVC application where I use following line in one of the method:

EventLog ev = new EventLog();

It works fine on local but when I tried to run it on server, this line gave me following error:

Request for the permission of type 'System.Diagnostics.EventLogPermission,System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I am not able to understand the issue, can anyone please help me with it?

You may need to simply ask for the correct security permissions prior to using the Event log, like so:

  EventLogPermission eventLogPermission = new EventLogPermission(EventLogPermissionAccess.Administer, ".");
  eventLogPermission.PermitOnly();
