Troubleshooting Event Log Trigger Alerts for Applications and Services Logs
A user asked if anyone had any experience getting custom Event Viewer trigger alerts to work for applications and service logs, and whether they were able to get the process working correctly.

The user was then referred to a ControlUp article (Real-Time Console - Events Pane [https://helpcenter.controlup.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015114517-Real-Time-Console-Events-Pane]) before it was suggested they use the "scheduled task trick" to create an event in the application.
