Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have the option to change the "How many previous days to search (Enter 0 for the entire log)" of an new Event Log Check to a smaller amount than 1 day. We want to check if an Event was logged in the last 5 minutes and then restart a certain service (by an attached task). We're experiencing issues with the check checking for a whole day. Because there can me multiple events during the day.

Or we would like it to only respond on new event log entries.

Additional context

i had the same kind of issue yesterday i could not get a "on failure" tasks to only run once for a bluescreen issue
what is missing is a on failure once radio button when setting the tasks
1 run on each failure
2 run on the 1st failure only

Yeah great idea, so in fact, your task can still be "On Check Failure" but the check itself should have the option to only mark itself as failed if a new event was logged (not checking the history previously the past event)!

Right now I am in a loop..

The check checks if the event was logged for the past day, it was logged, so it continues to the task, however the task restarts a service. However the restart of this service triggers a new event log.. And so on and so on.

But I can't use the check service, because the service keeps running despite the program fails, so it's not just a service check...

for now you should just script it then you could easily deal with these "inconvenience"
