Hello,

I am currently working with LogViewPlus and getting to know the program.

I have a use case and do not know whether it can be mapped with LogViewPlus:
I want to monitor Microsoft SMTP logfiles and if a certain log entry does NOT show up within a certain period of time there should be an alert.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

Hi Toby,

unfortunately, this does not work.

As a test, I set up a notify like in the video and that worked. But as soon as I set a corresponding alarm on negative notification, unfortunately nothing happens...

I just ran a quick test and it seems to be working ok.  I tested by running the log generating application under tail and then stopping it.  

I think the issue here is that Negative Events need to be primed.  The first event into the filter signals that monitoring is working and the timer should start.  They are fired when something stops, but if that thing never started how can you tell if it stopped?

Events detected by the filter during log file load will not prime the filter.  A new event is required.
