${WindowsEventMessages} isn't returning anything

FormerMember

Hello, I'm using the following macro, to return the event log contents - ${WindowsEventMessages}.  The email just has ${WindowsEventMessages} in the body.  Is there a particular way to set this up, for the information to be returned?

what type of alert is it -> trigger tab -> top part?  (application? component?)

if you go into email message in alert trigger action, click on insert variable...is that variable available?  if so, double click and insert into email message.

preface macro with notes for testing...

i.e.

swinsert-macro: ${<macro inserted by doubleclicking>}

try pasting this component alert action into notepad and saving as .alertaction

then import into trigger action and tweak for your emails, etc...
