Add new source for Eventlog Alerts

[VanUden]

Does anyone know how I can create a new source in Eventlog Alerts ?
(Reports & Alerts -> Mail Alerts -> Eventlog alerts)

If that's possible then I would like to create a source for Event ID 2013 (Disk near capacity). And perhaps maybe some more "custom" eventlog mail alerts.

You will be able to scan "information" and "success" events in 4.1

I still don't know how and when it scans the logs as I usually get the alerts after 6 hours or so.

You will receive the alert at the time lansweeper scans the computer and finds the event.
You can increase scanning of the eventlogs with the "eventlog scheduled scanning" tab

Here's how I got Lansweeper configured:

Under Scanning setup > Scanning servers > Options.
- Enable eventlog alert mailing on this server is checked
- smtp server, address and display name are filled out


Under Reports & Alerts > Mail alerts > Mail groups
- created a group called Alert with email address


Under Reports & Alerts > Mail alerts > Eventlog alerts
- selected a few events (ie. Disk error 7). Enabled is selected and Mailgroup is to the group Alert (the group I created above).

I still don't know how and when it scans the logs as I usually get the alerts after 6 hours or so.

I know how to configure it, but I just can't figure out how to add an event.
You're talking abour "Disk error 7", but I don't see that.
How can I add that event ?
Personally I would like to add Event 2013!
If possible 😉

If you don't see it in the list it means it didn't happen yet.
You can manually type in the filter field to fill in the eventID you want.
