Monitor Log Files and Send Notification Through Email

This example monitors Windows Hotfix log files for fatal string occurrences. If the fatal string occurs, SystemEDGE sends a notification through email. The example consists of an entry for the sysedge.cf file and an associated Send_Notification_Mail.cmd script.

Note: The #no_actions directive must not be active. Prepend it with the comment (#) character.
