Description

I am attempting to monitor Event IDs 11 and 15 in a single command using Invoke-IcingaCheckEventlog for the Application event log (-LogName Application) with the parameters -IncludeSource AdmPwd and -IncludeEntryType Information. However, despite trying multiple combinations with the -IncludeEventId parameter, the desired results are not achieved.

Details:
I want to configure a single service template to capture only these two specific Event IDs (11 and 15). However, with the commands I’ve tried so far, I am experiencing inconsistent results:

  1. Using -IncludeEventId '15','11' or @('15','11') does not return any events, even though log entries for IDs 11 and 15 are present.
  2. Running the command without -IncludeEventId captures additional, unwanted events like ID 14, which I do not need.

Here are some of the commands tested and their outcomes:

Invoke-IcingaCheckEventlog -Warning 0 -Critical 0 -LogName Application -IncludeSource AdmPwd -IncludeEntryType Information -Verbosity 3 -DisableTimeCache -IncludeEventId '15'
Result: Event 15 is successfully captured.

Invoke-IcingaCheckEventlog -Warning 0 -Critical 0 -LogName Application -IncludeSource AdmPwd -IncludeEntryType Information -Verbosity 3 -DisableTimeCache -IncludeEventId '11'
Result: Event 11 is successfully captured.

Invoke-IcingaCheckEventlog -Warning 0 -Critical 0 -LogName Application -IncludeSource AdmPwd -IncludeEntryType Information -Verbosity 3 -DisableTimeCache -IncludeEventId '15','11'
Result: No events are returned, even though log entries for IDs 11 and 15 are present.

I would appreciate support in configuring the command so that it only includes Event IDs 11 and 15, without capturing additional events like ID 14. Please see the attached images for reference.

Research direction

Start at the Invoke-IcingaCheckEventlog entry point and reproduce the Application log commands using IncludeSource AdmPwd, IncludeEntryType Information, and event IDs 11 and 15. Compare single-ID and multiple-ID filtering, then verify that the result includes only IDs 11 and 15 and excludes ID 14.
