Reference WEVTUtil

Retrieve information about event logs and publishers. Archive logs in a self-contained format, Enumerate the available logs, Install and uninstall event manifests, run queries, Exports events (from an event log, from a log file, or using a structured query) to a specified file, Clear event logs.

Try the following:

WEVTUtil enum-publishers | findstr yoursourcename

where yoursourcename is the name of the event source your are looking for.
