Hello, We have some rules about NT events that creates informational alerts and send mail notifications. I know, It is a strange request but , we don't want alerts generated because the noise in reports etc. while mails are sending to subscribers.
Any Ideas would be great, thank you.
We had similar requirements. I created a time reset monitor which automatically resets the alert after a couple of seconds. The alert is raised but immediately closed again. Your subscription will still pick it up.

Thanks, that is what I suggest but then, the alert appears in the most common alerts report. And even if you can filter them there, Is there a way to make them deleted or something? What about Event Collection Rules? Can we send notification mails as a response without generating alerts in console?
I wrote a simple vbscipt to send some kind of notification with mail. And add that in a nt event log collection based rule as a response. Basically it's like you said about workflows and works fine for me. Now I want to take it a little further and try to add event data in the mail that vb script send. Any ideas? Thank you.
