Schedule SDT for specific events within a EventSource??
Hello everyone, We've multiple Event Sources setup (each one of them covers multiple events (different sources & event IDs). They're kinda in the same category but they cover different events (example Backup Related Events - within those there'smultiple applications, event IDs, etc...). Our question here comes if we need to filter a specific event (within one of those Event Sources) on a specific period of the day. For example, ServerA is returning some events at 2AM EST but those are related with a scheduled job that occurs daily, one of our clients requested us to filter those events (daily from 2AM to 2:20 AM EST). Is there any way to do an SDT (but with a specific criteria)? Without filtering the whole Event Source (that contains more events that shouldn't be suppressed at that time). The reason we've multiple events within a event source is to don't create a lot of Event Sources (thinking on the WMI usage here). We have multiple events on the same Event Source, that way we don't do so many WMI queries. Just asking because in our old monitoring tool we were able to specify specific criteria on the suppression rule(s) & this is really important for us (since we have a lot of those requests). Appreciate the help!20Views1like8CommentsBetter Windows Event Monitoring
Hi, As much as i love the graphs and visuals that LM produces for all sorts of metrics, unfortunately a big part of our monitoring is keeping an eye on Windows Event Logs, which i have to say LM is not that good at. Adding exceptions is a pain (i now have so many i often delete them by accident when adding new ones). I have been told this is in the pipeline for the new UI several times but it has not been mentioned as yet. My first line guys check our gfi & LM dashboard every morning and i hear time again that they prefer the gfi one for looking at Event log messages. I have even caught them loading gfi on to servers that already have LM on them (costing us twice the cost). Is there anything in the pipeline for this? I know it's not a priority for you guys, but i think for a lot of customers it would be.3Views2likes0Comments
