bapt2002,

move allow arguments to the following section

[/settings/external scripts]
allow arguments=1

also, what version of 0.4 are you running?

regards,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I made the change you suggested but found i needed the argument in two locations for this to work as well as changing the alias to all lower caps. see below.

[/settings/external scripts]
allow arguments = 1
allow nasty characters = 1

[/settings/NRPE/server]
allow arguments = 1
allow nasty characters = 1

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
applog_warn=scripts\eventlog.exe -e Application -t Warning -m 10 -i "21292,21421,21245,2011,1202,100,0,21423,2003,53258,1517,213"

As for WIN_RDS
I found it works greats the only issue i had and this maybe just a personal preference but i like to see as much of the event log entry to show up in the alert.
