Hi:

I would like to setup a way of receiving e-mail notifications when
certain Event Log errors appear, how should I go about this?

For instance, my server uses disk mirroring, but if there is a problem
with one of the disks, the event gets logged to the Windows log, but I
would also like to generate an e-mail to warn me of the event.

Thanks,
Martin.

Unless you can find an inbuilt tool to alert you of certain errors,
you would have to schedule a task to run every x minutes to
do this:
- Extract events from the Event Logger, using dumpel.exe.
- Pass them trrough a filter with find.exe.
- Send them to yourself with a command line mailer such
as blat.exe, mailto.exe or sendmail.exe.

I do it all the time and I find it very convenient.

That sound what I was looking for.

Thanks very much,
Martin.
