How to Report and Alert on VM’s with System Event Source “Bugcheck”

It is possible to create an event trigger to alert on virtual machines (VMs) with system event source "bugcheck" through email (or webhook and a few other options). However, this would only work when the event is occurring, not for past events. If the event relates to a blue screen, the agent might be gone and it won’t alert. To solve this, it is suggested to set a trigger when the VM status goes from error to ready and run a script to check for that event.

Hello All – Is there a way to report and alert on VM’s that have the system event source “bugcheck”?

You can create and event trigger with these criteria and tie an alert through email to it (or webhook and a few other options)

Thanks, I’ll try this.

Just to clarify: this would only work as it happens. We don’t alert on past events

So of the event is related to a blue screen, the agent is probably gone and it won’t alert. Just keep that in mind

Looking at the event it gets recorderd after the reboot, but I guess it happens before the agent starts.

you could set a trigger when the vm stat gose from error to ready and run a script to check for that event
