Hi,

I am trying to figure out if I can have your product notify me if a specific log file stops appearing in the applications logs after five minutes or some other custom time frame? I am able to find the log files easy enough, I just can't figure out how to recognize that it is no longer getting those files generated to make it appear "down".

Thanks!

For this you would need to setup a Windows Event Log sensor to watch for the particular Event ID in question.

Set a Scanning interval of 1 minute

Set a Lower Error Threshold of .9 on the New Records channel.

Set a State Trigger for 0 seconds for a Down state

This should perform the notification you select when there has been 5 minutes of no event IDs indicating that particular log file.
