NT Eventlog - test on event type

[gelita-apa]

Hello folks. Is there a way where I can ask for an alert on a particular Win2k3 server where the type is "Error" or "Warning" and then return some detail on that particular event ?

Sure. You may use "NT Event Log" test method. HostMonitor can check event log on local or remote machine and start alert actions if some specific events occur. Please, read the following article for details: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkNTLog

By default, HostMonitor place the description of occured event into "Reply" field. Also you may use following macro variables within mail template body: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... .htm#macro
====================================
the following variables have sense for "NT Event Log" test only, they represent parameters of the last "Bad" event detected:
%NTEventSource% - Event source. Identifies the software that logged the event
%NTEventComp% - Name of the computer where the event occurred
%NTEventTime% - Time of the event
%NTEventType% - Type of the event
%NTEventID% - Event identifier
%NTEventText% - Event description
%NTEventUser% - Represents the user name if an event is attributed to a specific user
====================================
