Configuring Event Log Monitors
Report First Alert Encountered for a Trigger – The first alert
that occurs during a sample run for a specific trigger is the
only one sent. Subsequent alerts for the same trigger are
ignored.
Report Last Alert Encountered for a Trigger – The last alert
that occurs during a sample run for a specific trigger is the
only one sent. Previous alerts for the same trigger are
ignored.
Report all Alerts for a Trigger as a bundle – Send all alerts that
occur for a specific trigger during the sample run as one alert
message.
Test – When you add or modify a monitor, you can test General
settings to determine if they are set appropriately. After clicking
the Test button, you will see messages in the status window as
the test runs and when the test completes.
3. Each monitor that you add must have a unique name. You can
let OneSight create a unique name using the Event Log
specifications you supply, or you can type in your own name
for the monitor.
4. On the General tab, type in the DNS Name, specifying the name
or IP address of the host that has the event log.
5. Type in the NetBIOS Name.
6. Enter authentication information if necessary.
7. Specify the type of Event Log that is being monitored.
