I have a question regarding the NT Event Log test
I have 2 tests; test 1 enabled and test 2 disabled as standard
Test 1 – will react on Event ID 1200, for all messages except “has a new status of 2”, if alert goes of, test 2 will be enabled and test 1 disabled.
Test 2 - will react on Event ID 1200, for message “has a new status of 2”, if alert goes of, test 1 will be enabled and test 2 disabled.
In System log I can see the following.
Message 1: Event ID 1200, has a new status of 7, test 1 will be disabled, and test 2 enabled
Message 2: Event ID 1200, has a new status of 5, nothing will happen
Message 3: Event ID 1200, has a new status of 2, test 2 will be disabled, and test 1 enabled.
Now comes the problem, when test 1 get enabled again, it continues reading from where it was disabled and therefore it will read Message 2 and disable test 1 and enable test 2.
Is there a way to have the test to read future messages only and don’t continue where it was disabled.
The test is for monitoring a disk array:
Has a new status of 7 – array failed
Has a new status of 5 – array rebuilding
Has a new status of 2 – array OK
Hope you understand my explanation.

NT Event Log test
Its impossible (in current version).Is there a way to have the test to read future messages only and don’t continue where it was disabled.
But I see workaround:
- configure Test 1 to react for message "Has a new status of 7"
- if you need receive alerts on other messages, you can setup additional test. E.g. Test 3 to react for message "Has a new status of 5". It can use the same alert profile that Test 1 is using (I think profile should disable both tests)
- profile that is assigned for Test 2 should enable both Test 1 and Test 3
Or there are too many possible error messages?

Done. HMScript command ResetEventLogRefPoint <testname> was implemented.

If you check event log on remote system, system clocks on local and remote systems should be synchronized in order to work correctly.
