Probing for error in event log - notify on NEW error not old

o.ferreira · Post by **o.ferreira** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:06 am

Hi guys, could use some help

I configured Hostmonitor to warn me when error ID1000 is logged in Windows Event log.

Works perfect, sends me an email. Problem is, it keeps logging "Down" afterwards, even after I acknowledged, because the error log is not clean, obviously.

Objective is to send the email but only notify me again on NEXT occurrence of that error, not the previous ones!

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance!

Sure. NT Event Log test is designed to notify about new events, appeared between test recurrences.
May we see your test settings? You may export test using menu File -> Export to Text file.
I assume you have selected "Report about all events" option on "Event Log test properties" dialog.

got the solution from your answer, was not aware of that setting. this was actually my first alert configured in your application.

Thank you.
