Sharepoint sync - massive delay - Windows events log file

Hi All,

How do I view the events log?

The M365 team are suggesting taking a manual backup of Sharepoint, then reestablishing a Sharepoint sync "from scratch". Please forgive any knowledge gaps.

They've advised this has a possibility of losing sharepoint data. We are therefore reluctant to perform this step if an event log can point to an alternative fix.

 

Moving an event log source is not having an effect

I'm having an issue that to be clear I'll describe in steps:

1. I created an event source called Foo in the event log called Application using the following powershell command:
   New-EventLog -source Foo -LogName "Application"
   
2. I could successfully log to the event log using that source.
   
3. Afterwards, I decided to remove the source and re-create it in a different event log:
   

The problem I'm having is that then when I run Write-EventLog -LogName "My App Log" -Source "Foo" -EventID 0 -EntryType Information -Message "Some message." the entry is logged to Application instead of to My App Log

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? Am I missing anything?
