I've read all around and don't seem to be abel to find a good example of this. I am monitoring our windows event logs so I can see when we are getting errors, but as most folks I have found on here, the 4 conditions we are allowed are not enough. I read that we should be using match description on but no where can I find any good examples of how to use this. The other soultions was to put in the ones I want to see, but this limits me as I'm not always sure what I want to monitor until it's too late.

So anyone have a good way to monitor the event log errors, and filter them out?

You can have several passive monitors on the same machine. So I might have one passive monitor watching Event Log matching on several conditions involving account management, and another passive monitor on the same machine watching security events, etc etc. Each monitor has it's own action policy so I can word the emails differently and include different variables.
