Exclude Filter Not Working
  • Blaine Kehl December 2011

    I am trying unsuccessfully to set up my first exclude filter in EventSentryLight.

    Steps I used to create filter:
    1. Connected to the remote event log viewer in the EventSentryLight management console.
    2. Right clicked the event and selected Add Exclude Filter
    3. Gave the filter a name and associated it with the default package.

    General Filter Settings
    Actions: Checked trigger all actions.
    Log: Checked Application
    Event Severity: Checked Warning
    Filter Settings: Exclude
    Event Source: Microsoft Operations Manager
    Category: MOM Agent
    Event ID: 25012
    Username: NT Authority\System
    Computer: left blank
    Content Filter & Notes: none

    Clicked save.

    I continue to receive this email re. this event.

    EVENT # 17078
    EVENT LOG Application
    EVENT TYPE Warning
    OPCODE Info
    SOURCE Microsoft Operations Manager
    CATEGORY MOM Agent
    EVENT ID 25012
    USERNAME NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
    COMPUTERNAME VCENTER
    DATE / TIME 12/7/2011 1:11:35 PM
    MESSAGE The Application Event Log on computer '******\VCENTER' appears to have been cleared since it was last read. The Windows Event Log Provider may lose events whenever an event log is cleared.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Blaine,

    It sounds like you did everything correctly to configure this exclude filter. What you may want to try is instead of selecting 'trigger all options' is to only select the 'default email' action (or just one action that you wish to exclude and then once you're sure it's working you can add more actions to exclude if you need to.

    Did you remember to save your configuration and push a configuration update out to your remote systems?
