Wouldn't you want to add a SAM application monitor for event log monitoring and then just alert based on that SAM monitor? Seems kinda backwards to try to hardcore that into the alert, harder than it has to be.
I agree. But I also think getting at least a hint of what the error is in the email is critical for a good alerting system, especially if the admin is off-site and not remoted in. My boss thinks so too so he asked me to see if there is a way to implement it.
I couldn't find any way to have the error included in the email in any format directly, though.
Same here.
