This monitor checks access to Windows event logs.
This monitor indicates if the Health Service was able to successfully access and open an event log to process its events. When the Health Service is unable to access an event log, there may be degradation in monitoring events out of that event log.
This can be caused by the following:
The action account does not have the appropriate permissions to the event log indicated in the alert and monitor context.
The event log specified in the monitor or rule configuration does not exist on the computer where the monitor or rule is run.
The event log name may not be correct in the monitor or rule configuration.
Refer to most recent error details in the alert description for the name of the event log.
1. Check that the action account for the Health Service has the appropriate rights on the target computer to read from that event log.
2. Check that the event log exists on the computer on which this alert/monitor state was raised.
3. Check the configuration in the rule or monitor, such as a misspelled name.
