I have a log file "logs.log" that include the status of one of the applications, and I want to write these logs in Windows Events Viewer.

the output in that file as below:

24/01/2019 16:33:26   app(12744.13964) <SYSTEM> SERVICE.app.Activity: Stopping service...

Is there any way to write them in Windows Events Viewer?

You may use PowerShell to write to the Even Viewer.

The command to use is Write-EventLog, requiring administrator privileges.

Example: Write an event to the Application event log, using an elevated PowerShell script:

PS C:\> Write-EventLog -LogName "Application" -Source "MyApp" -EventID 3001 -EntryType Information -Message "MyApp added a user-requested feature to the display." -Category 1 -RawData 10,20

You can write custom events to event logs using EventCreate.

For a working example see my answer Windows event id for battery level change.

EVENTCREATE

Add a message to the Windows event log, requires administrator rights.

Syntax
      EVENTCREATE [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]] /ID eventid
            [/L logname] [/SO srcname] /T type /D description

Key:
    /S system         The remote system to connect to.

    /U [domain\]user  User credentials under which to execute.

    /P [password]     Password for user, will prompt if omitted.

    /L logname        The event log to create an event in.

    /T type           The type of event to create: SUCCESS, ERROR, WARNING, INFORMATION.

    /SO source        The source to use for the event  A text string that represents the 
                      application or component that is generating the event. 
                      Default='eventcreate'

    /ID id            Event ID, a number between 1 - 1000.

    /D description    Description text for the new event.

    /?                Help
