Saving Security Log to DB

The scripting website has an example of how to copy the
event logs to a db. I want to modify this and just copy
the security logs to a db. Below is the relevant portion
of that code:

Set colRetrievedEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent")

To modify this for the Security logs, do I change the code
to:

Set colRetrievedEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent Where Logfile _
='Security'")

I would greatly appreciate any input on this subject.

Thanks,

Scott
