Windows Reboot Tracker- SAM Template & Alert

It was tedious task for my NOC team to login to the rebooted server every time and check the reason for reboot. I tried thwacking to get a solution for finding out the reboot reason and couldn't find any templates. So I have created this template which will list out the windows reboot event logs and alert with event log messages whenever a server is rebooted. Please make sure to import & enable the alert attached.

After deploying these templates My NOC team has saved lots of time manually logging in each rebooted server and finding the reason for reboot. In a day at least they get 30-50 server reboot alerts.

  1. Import the Windows Reboot Events.apm-template  and Node+Reboot+Informational+Alert.xml
  2. Deploy the Windows Reboot Events.apm-template on windows server
  3. Modify the alert recipients,SMTP Server, etc.. as required in. Node+Reboot+Informational+Alert.xml

Kindly provide feedback/comments to back this template better or share your ideas. emoticons_happy.png emoticons_happy.png

Below will be the alert message.
