[Xymon] Setting up alerts based on specific messages and ignoring the others

[Matthew Harris]

Hey Guys, is there any way using XYMON to set up specific alerts based on windows message ID's and hardware logs, I have been tasked with setting up monitoring the windows server hardware logs, and only alert on those, and have the rest of the messages show up as green.  My boss is only interested in the hardware failures at the moment, we have nagios already set up, but I used hobbit in the past and was spoiled, so I want to set it up here, and hopefully replace nagios with xymon.  To do that I need to find a way to alert on a few small things to give them a taste of xymon before I can get them to bite.  I need to be able to set up an alert for a cluster failover, be able to alert on a hardware failure, and be able to alert on a cert expiration date.  If you guys can help me out with some or all of those things, we'll be able to get nagios out and get xymon in.

V/R
Matt
