    Filter text from Windows Event Viewer

    Hi,


    Is it possible to collect selected text in log?

    Item: Log (Event Viewer Windows)

    Key: eventlog[System,,"Warning"]


    is it possible to filter log content?

    Ex:
    Name: System
    Level: Warning
    General: The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check.
    Filter: service has completed


    Thanks

    Hello wagnerjs83,

        Hi wagnerjs83,

        Sorry, I think I did not understand you, what do you need, a trigger that alerts you when the text "service has completed" appears?

          Hi,

          I need an item that filters a string

          Item: Log (Event Viewer Windows)

          Key: eventlog[System,,"Warning"]

          String "abcd 123 abcd"

            wagnerjs83,
            In the web that I indicated, https://regex101.com/ you can look for the regexp that you need.
            I'm not very good with the regexp but it would be worth something like this "service + [a-z \ s] + completed"

            But surely there are more simple ones.

            The regexp tb you can use it in the key instead of the preprocessing
