Dear Microsoft, I was surprised to see the most common alert in my reports being "Failed to process Windows Event Log" when I never saw this alert. I realized that it was because the system event log was corrupt on one of my servers. The Operations Manager agent kept retrying to access the event log, but it would reset the alert. Therefore the alert was auto-resolved to close every 12 minutes. I just happened to catch one of these events before it auto-resolved. I will turn off auto-resolve, but isn't this a bug?
Hi mj, Dont sound like a bug, that report is showing the most common alerts, and if you have a rule or monitor that loops and generates a lot of them, then the report will be affected. But I can understand your though too. -- Anders Bengtsson Microsoft MVP - Operations Manager Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) http://www.contoso.se > Dear Microsoft, > > I was surprised to see the most common alert in my reports being > "Failed to process Windows Event Log" when I never saw this alert.
