Hi All,

Can somebody please help me to understand how to schedule a Rule Alert in SCOM 2012

I have created a Rule Alert for Logfile monitoring which should check for string ERROR under E:\Programs\Test.txt everyday at 12 PM, how can i add a schedule to it.

I Have attached the screen shot, kindly help how to go about from here.

I'd solve it this way:

Write a script that checks the file for the word ERROR and if it detects it, writes an event to the Application log (using eventcreate). Use the "Timed Command" rule "Execute A Script" and use that rule to schedule/run the script.

Create a second rule (Event Based ->NT Event Log) to alert when the event ID created by the script shows up in the application log.

How to generate an alert directly from a script-based rule. You may refer to Jonathan Almquist blog. Although Jonathan Almquist  is based on R2 Authoring Resource Kit, it is work on SCOM 2012.
