This is useful, but the VM cmdlets also support remoting, so you can easily get the status
of a remote machine as well:

Monitoring events
Event monitoring has not materially changed in Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server
2012 R2 over the behavior and tools available in Windows Server 2008—with the exception
of a limited number of Windows PowerShell cmdlets. The exam questions will likely focus
on that one area that is new while retaining some legacy questions such as how to create a
custom event view.
Creating custom views
You can create custom Event Viewer views by opening the Event Viewer console
(eventvwr.msc) and clicking Create Custom View in the Actions pane. Specify the time
period for the view in the Logged drop-down list, and set the Event Level to View. Continue
configuring what you want to see in the custom view. As shown in Figure 1-15, you can
track by log or by source, and specify Event IDs, task categories, keywords, and the user and
computer that generated the event.
