Event Monitoring Improvement (v3)
Atera has made some great changes when monitoring Windows event logs, but there are still some features that would make it much more valuable.
I would like to be able to filter events based on the contents of their description. Let's say I'm monitoring the Application log for any events generated by the Application Crash and Application Hang sources. While this is helpful, it generates lots of noise and unnecessary alerts. Since there are a limited number of critical applications that I'm worried about, I want to specify those application names in the monitor so that Atera only generates alerts when those application names are found in the event description. For instance, I don't care if DellSupportAssistRemediationService.exe crashes, but I do care very much when Outlook.exe or Revit.exe crash. There are many apps that crash on Windows with a lot of regularity and most of those are inconsequential to me. Being able to filter this list down to just the ones I care about would make my alerts far more valuable.
I know there are other use cases for this too, like monitoring the Security log for AuditFailure events - in this case I would want to filter out any machine or system account and focus only on user accounts that have a human being associated with them. But there are other use cases as well. If you have one, please comment what it is!
