    Monitoring Windows Event Log

    I have ben trying to get this to work, with out any luck. Can any one see what i am doing wrong?

    This is the event i want to capture



    This is how i have made Items



    and the trigger



    Nothing happens though, there are no warnings made.

    I would like if i somehow could make it so, there only are an alarm if that event is found within the last 5 minutes or so?

    I have also tried another item, that looks like this:

    eventlog[System,,"Warning|Error|Information"]

    it was my understanding that it would trigger when one of the 3 types of events is found in the system log, but again nothing happens.. What am i missing?

    it seems this could be a problem with active checks not working?

    my config file has my zabbix server in the ServiceActive

    ServerActive=172.18.131.153
    I have used Automatic registration on my agents, so i have set the HostnameItem like this

    HostnameItem=system.hostname[host]
    so my server is created as monitor.domain.local

    how ever when looking at the event item i created it says only aviable as active cheks, and that is marked as not supported. on the zabbix log, i have this:

    no active checks on server [172.18.131.153:10051]: host [MONITOR] not found
    what am i missing?
    I have tried to create a entry on the zabbix server in its hosts file, with the ip address and the dns name of the server (monitor) but that does not seem to change anything... any ideas?

    /edit

    seems i just had to add the port in the config file, and active checks seem to be working....
