Is there a way to connect to a windows server and grab the Event logs?

Yes it is - by use "wevtutil" in a cmd-file:

wevtutil qe Application /f:text /q:"*[System/Level>=1]" >D:\YOURPATH\Application.txt

result is a strutured text-stream and not data sets, but this could transform with vbscript and QV.

Make sure that the user had appropiate access to the event-logs!

Take a look at the System Monitor, i think they do pull data from system logs.

I mean to grab server logs not just qlikview logs, or does system monitor do that?

I use MSLogparser as a preprocessor and load the output to QV.
