Alert when remote server reboots

[sstimson]

I'd like to have Host Monitor alert me when one of the servers it is monitoring using Active RMA has been rebooted (or when it has started up - either will work for me). I've tried setting up an NT Event Log test to look for event ID 6005 which is "The Event log service was started". When I try to test by rebooting the server, the NT Event Log test never fails even though the Event Log on the server does have this new event from startup. Is this because the RMA service has not yet started at the time this event takes place? I've looked through the event logs and this seems to be the best test to indicate the server just started up - but maybe there is another one - or a better test to perform. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

How about system uptime check ?
e.g.
You may check if system uptime is less then 10 min (600 sec)
using WMI test with WMI query like the following:
Select SystemUpTime From Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System
