Using WMI Event Log Sensor

Votes:

The sensor works great. Now I want to send an email notification when the sensor is triggered along with the detail of the sensor. The sensor is filtered on a specific Event ID.

Good to hear the sensor is working well for you. Regarding the notification, simply enter the sensor's 'Notifications' tab. If inherited notification triggers are already in place, select option 'Only use triggers defined below', add a 'Change Trigger' to perform the desired notification. You'll get notified with the sensor's details as soon as a new eventlog is found matching your criteria. Be aware that if this event occurs several times between two scans you'll get one notification not one notification for every new item.
