Monitoring User account creation and deletion.

Post by Sainyam »

Hi Support,

I have setup user creation and deletion monitoring by monitoring event IDs 4720 and 4726. So whenever any user created I get an alert.
I am using AppAssure backup software and it requires to create / delete users automatically. I am trying to exclude those Replay user creation alerts.
Please help me, attached screenshots to show test configuration and alert to exclude.

Provided filter should work for you.
What HostMontior and RMA versions do you use? Do you use Passive or Active RMA agent for this test item?
Could you try the following:
1. Try to rewrite "Description contains" text or better copy it from alert e-mail.
2. Include %TestID% variable into alert e-mail and check if this is the same test item (not some copy, located in different folder) triggering the alert.

Please do not use wildcard symbol (*).
Provided screenshots show correct test settings.
Should be: Description contains "Nothing from the list": ReplayEngine

We've rechecked code and made some tests. HostMonitor 8.86 with RMA/aRMA works as expected: correctly filters (does not detect) creation/deletion of user account like ReplayEngine123, ReplayEngine22, etc.

Are you sure it's active RMA version? It looks like RMA setup utility version.
HostMonitor 8.86 comes with Active RMA version 4.15
Please use all components (HostMonitor, RMA, Web Service, RCC, etc.) from one installation package.

Great.
That's why I asked you to include %TestID% variable into alert e-mail and check if this is the same test item (not some copy, located in different folder) triggering the alert.
Thank you for the notice.
