NeophyteSo in that code, the 1234 is the actual wildalias name you'd be looking for in your example. I wonder how that would work as I think the WildAlias in this scenario would be that long instance name we're using now, right?
This is the instance name we're trying to alarm off of.
"Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin|Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager|2|1069"
Yes, 1234 in the expression above would be the whole name. And the 5 would be the value of the .count datapoint you want to threshold on. ge() means greater than or equal to. This assumes the datapoint is called "count".
I think the problem with this is that the eq() function is looking for numbers, not a string. So it may always return 0. If that's the case, we may need to look into simplifying either the wildvalue (first part of discovery line before the ##) or the wildalias (second part of discovery line, the instance display name) down to a number.
In your name above is 1069 enough to uniquely identify that one instance? Or is it possible to have a 1069 with two different strings in the name before the 1069?
For example, is it possible for these both to exist? Or will "1069" always be paired with "Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin|Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager|2"
"Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin|Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager|2|1069"
"Something else entirely|2|1069"
Neophyte1069 will always be there, this logic builds the instance name for this code using the following naming scheme.
Log Name | Provider logging the error | Error level (2 = error, 1 = critical, 3 = warning) | Event ID
So in theory, yes another log or provider could output a 1069 as well.
