Event Log reports will send you 500 emails for the same error - any way to have it only send 1?

We have lansweeper set to e-mail us for errors in event logs, but when a PC gets like 100, 200, 300 etc. of the same message (like disk error, or NetBT error) it will e-mail us that many times. If there was a way you could make it realize there are duplicate messages for the same error and only e-mail once that would be fantastic.

Thanks.

When you set up event log mailing, Lansweeper will send an email alert each time the event specified by you occurs. It is not currently possible to configure event log mailing so that an alert for a specific event is only mailed once within a certain timeframe.

A solution would be to set up a report for this particular event instead and then have this report mailed to you on a daily basis. An example report can be seen below. Replace “YourCode” and “YourSource” with the event ID and source you would like to report on.

Select tblComputers.Computername, tblComputers.ComputerUnique,
tblComputers.Domain, tblntlogevent.Eventcode, tblntlogevent.Eventtype,
tblntlogevent.Logfile, tblntlogevent.Message, tblntlogevent.Sourcename,
tblntlogevent.TimeGenerated, tblntlogevent.[User]
From tblComputers Inner Join
tblntlogevent On tblComputers.Computername = tblntlogevent.Computername
Where tblntlogevent.Eventcode = 'YourCode' And tblntlogevent.Sourcename = 'YourSource' And
tblntlogevent.TimeGenerated > GetDate() - 1
Order By tblntlogevent.TimeGenerated Desc
