Description Macro for Windows event logs

[Zaniwoop]

I am monitoring Windows event logs for errors. I then have an action which sends messages.

Is there a Macro that I cant find that has the "description" details of the event?

Why are you after a "macro"?

In your trigger you can put, for example:

{TemplateServers:eventlog[Application].str("WARNING: There are unsent Messages in ta_Message")}=1 & {TemplateServers:eventlog[Application].nodata(10)}#1

I am not trying to create a trigger. I am wanting the text from the description, so that I can put it in a message.

The description has valuable information which is not static.

OK.

If your using an action to send a message then you can use:

{TRIGGER.NAME}
Computer: {HOSTNAME}
EventDate: {EVENT.DATE}
EventTime: {EVENT.TIME}
Description: {ITEM.LASTVALUE}


item.lastvalue will be the text of the error message.

that was too obvious

Thanx, it worked.

Is there any way to include the Windows Event ID and Source in the message/notification?

Source: {ITEM.LOG.SOURCE}
EventID: {ITEM.LOG.EVENTID}
