 ### Creating Event Logs In Code
 
-There are two approaches to creating event logs in OpenBMC code. The first makes
-use of the systemd journal to store metadata needed for the log, and the second
-is a plain D-Bus method call.
+The preferred method for creating event logs is specified in the project-level
+[event log design][event-log-design]. Events are defined using YAML in the
+phosphor-dbus-interfaces repository, such as the
+[Logging.Cleared][logging-cleared] event, which will generate a C++ class for
+the event. Then a call to `lg2::commit` is made on a constructed event to add it
+to the event log.
 
-#### Journal Based Event Log Creation
+```cpp
+lg2::commit(sdbusplus::event::xyz::openbmc_project::Logging::Cleared(
+    "NUMBER_OF_LOGS", count));

+There are two other, but now deprecated, methods to creating event logs in
+OpenBMC code. The first makes use of the systemd journal to store metadata
+needed for the log, and the second is a plain D-Bus method call.
