NT event log test warning after multiple errors

[Hanus]

Hi!
As I am having some problems with a win2003 server, I would like to set up the following test, but I am not shure if it is possible.

The problems generate a lot of errors in the NT system event log. I would like to have a test that e.g. warns me if there have been 10 errors in the log since the last check?
Is this possible?

I think this is possible but a little tricky.
1) Use "Report about all bad events" test option
2) Add "bad" action into alert profile assigned to the test. Any action you want, e.g. "Send e-mail" or "Play sound". Use the following options for the action
- Start when 10 consecutive Bad results occur
- Repeat: 1 time
3) Add another "bad" "Repeat test" action into alert profile. Use the following options for the action
- Start when 1 consecutive Bad results occur
- Repeat: until test status changes

I have partially added the test that you suggest. Using only step 1 and 2. This seems to do the trick.

What is the function of step 3?

If you skip step #3, the following situation is possible: HostMonitor may find 4 events in 1st check, 3 events in 2rd check, 5 events in 3rd check and start alert.
