The default interval for this script is Every 10 minutes.
Set the following parameters as needed:
Parameter |
How to Set It |
---|---|
Event? |
Set to y to raise an event if log entries match your selection criteria. The default is y. |
Collect data? |
Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If enabled, data collection returns information based on the other parameter values you enabled. The default is n. |

Set this parameter to determine which events are searched for the first time the Knowledge Script is run. Subsequent searches begin where the last search finished. The following entries are valid:
The default is 0. |
Monitor events of type: |
Set to y for each type of event you want to monitor:

Filter the [...] field for |
To limit the types of entries that raise AppManager events and the type of data that is collected, enter a search string that filters the following fields in the Windows Event Log:
The search string can contain criteria used to include entries, exclude entries, or both. Separate the include and exclude criteria with a colon (:). If you are specifying only include criteria, the colon is not necessary. |
Maximum number of events per event message |
Specify the maximum number of DNS Registration Event Log events that can be returned in each event report. For example, if this value is set to 30, and 67 Registration Event Log events are found, then three event reports are raised: two reports containing 30 events and one report containing seven events. The Message column on the Events tab displays the number of events in the event report, the type of log the events are from, and the event report batch number. The batch number is the sequential number of the event report. Batch numbers start at 1 for each Knowledge Script iteration. The default is 30. |
Event severity |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the an event in which log entries match your selection criteria. You can adjust the severity based on the types of events you are checking. The default severity level is 8 (red event indicator). |
