Hi,
I am trying to clone the windows api sensor and get system error 87 (The parameter is incorrect). This happens at the time of start-up sensor. This sensor is working on identical server (this is a cluster of two nodes).
i have no idea what i have to do .....

Hi there,
Are you using the Eventlog API Sensor here? Does it work when adding the sensor manually instead of cloning it?
Kind regards,

Your advice was helpful.
The creation of the WMI Eventlog Sensor has helped me.
