Unify.EventBroker.Web\Views\Error\Index.cshtml has been updated to not throw the NullReferenceException in this case. However, it shouldn't be going to this page without there being an error.
Can you please check the windows event log on the web server?
If there is something logged at the time, then that will give us a clue to the problem. If not, then there needs to be error handling around the attempt to write to the event log.
Thanks.
For our reference, this has just been updated in code so that we don't get the original error being suppressed.
Matthew, did you have any further details for this issue? Or can it be closed?
Thanks.

Which account is the IIS app pool configured to run under? Does it have permission to list folder contents and read from the logs directory?
Where does it create the log dir by default?
Dir did not exist. Created dir, gave svc_EventBroker write access.
Error still present.
Sorry, wrong directory, forgot the Services part:
Directory was missing, added directory & restarted service.
Issue resolved.
Thanks.
