Simon,

Why not automate the whole thing? Why not have a Perl script set up on another
machine,
that will automatically retrieve and clear the EventLog for you?  You can use a
variety of tools
to pull the EventLog into a spreadsheet or a database for processing, filter the
EventLog entries,
clear the EventLog, etc.

For some examples of this, check out http://www.forixnt.com/tools.html
