WMI Query returned no recors

Votes:

0

Hi,

i just wanted to set up a sensor using the following WMI Script:

SELECT * FROM Win32_NTLogEvent WHERE Logfile ='System' AND EventCode = '10010'

The problem ist, that wen using this query, sensor is always down, regardless the number of rows returned, but I want to have it in state ok, if no rows are returned!

Is there a possibility to set up a sensor, that only goes "down" when one or more row is returned, or do I have to use a powershell script (this is what I want to avoid in the first place!)

eventlog powershell wmi-custom-sensor

The problem is that the WMI Custom sensor doesn't work with counts. But you might want to try my historic windows events sensor :) Does exactly what you want. Everything ready at your hands, you only need to install it.
