Problem searching though syslog messages

i am trying to search through the syslog web app that is part of Orion. I have a server generating a syslog msg when a perticular process stops. it generates a syslog msg of "the process CMS.exe has exited", right now i have it searching for *CMS* and generating a an email alert. I want to have it send a msg that searches both *CMS* and *exit* i can't seem to do this, if you search events you put a ; between them like *CMS*;*exit* and it will search for it.

so if that is confusing enough i want it to search for syslog messages the contain *CMS* and *exit*. thank you

dbakula01,

There is no reason you should not be able to do this with the method you described or the use of regular expressions. *CMS* ; *exit*.

Cheers,

actually they said this was going to be fixed in release 8.5

I'm running Orion NPM 9.5 and I can't do this,.. am I missing something.. I can't search for a specific word or string. If I put anything in the "Message Pattern" dialogue box other than the whole syslog message the search turns up no results.

never mind,.. works when I put a * on both ends
