[Check_mk (english)] Logwatch ~ Windows Security Account Lockout Alerts

HI ,

I
am trying to monitor Windows lockout events using check_mk logwatch.
I have instructed windows domain controller to send all security logs to check_mk server and in my check_mk server I have defined following:-
‘Security’: [
( [“DC”], ALL_HOSTS, ‘C’, ‘Locked Out’ ),
( ‘W’, ‘’ ),
],
The issue is If there are 2 or more lockouts happens at
the same time, It will increase the critical counter to 2+ however it will notify only once.

I understand that the previous alert need to be acknowledged so that check_mk can notifie on the second event but in mentioned case all the lockouts happened concurrently.

How can I have separate alert for each lockout ?

Is there any way to auto acknowledge the previous event ??

As you can see below there were 5 critical events at the same time , but I was notified only once.

Hi Can someone help please ?

Problem is you have only one service “LOG Security”. If this service changes state you’re notified - once.

No chance to do that otherwise.
