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.
NeophyteTesting this out...
ProfessorIs the count alert threshold you want for all of these instances, all going to be the same? Like you want to alert if 20 different event id counts go >= 2? Or could some of them be 5 counts, or 10 counts, etc?
Also if the count is just going to be 1, I would just look to use EventSources for alerting.
