How do I create an email alert when a syslog generates an err-disable on the interface?

Trees4Trees

I’m looking for guidance on how to set up an email alert in SolarWinds when an Arista switch generates a syslog message indicating that BPDU guard has been detected on an interface. We have a syslog server configured to send logs to SolarWinds, but I have never set up alerts before. We are currently using SolarWinds version 2024.2.0.1965. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
