Creating an Event Log Alert

1. On the Monitor > Event Log Alerts page select the Assign Event Set tab.
2. Select an item from the Select event log type drop-down list.
3. Select the Event Set filter used to filter the events that trigger alerts. By default <All Events> is selected.

4. Check the box next to any of the following event category:
   • Error
   • Warning
   • Information
   • Success Audit
   • Failure Audit
   • Critical - Applies only to Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008
   • Verbose - Applies only to Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008

   Note: Red letters indicate logging disabled. Event log collection may be disabled by the VSA for a particular machine, based on settings defined using Agent > Event Log Settings. A particular event category (EWISFCV) may be not be available for certain machines, such as the Critical and Verbose event categories. Event log alerts are still generated even if event logs are not collected by the VSA.

5. Specify the frequency of the alert condition required to trigger an alert:
   • Alert when this event occurs once.
   • Alert when this event occurs <N> times within <N> <periods>.
   • Alert when this event doesn't occur within <N> <periods>.
   • Ignore additional alarms for <N> <periods>.
6. Click the Add or Replace radio options.
   • Add adds the selected event set to the list of event sets already assigned to selected machines.
   • Replace replaces the entire list of assigned events sets on selected machines with the selected event set.
7. Select the Set Alert Actions tab to select the actions to take in response to the alert condition specified.
8. Click Apply to assign selected event type alerts to selected machine IDs.

   Note: Click Remove to remove all event set alerts from selected machine IDs immediately. You don't have to click the Apply button.
