How can I monitor the number of event log messages over a few hours, get alerts if a threshold is reached, and include logs not listed in the WMI EventLog sensor in PRTG?
The following sensor will search multiple event logs from multiple providers. You can search for IDs and the message text. Make sure you read the synopsis of the sensor to get an idea of what the specific parameters do. Please use the following script with an EXE/Script sensor:

.SYNOPSIS
Reads the windows eventlog and filters for the specified events.
.DESCRIPTION
This custom sensor for PRTG will read the given EventLog file and search it
for the defined events. It also allows to error if the last event found has a certain ID or
Message.
.PARAMETER ComputerName
The computer whose event log you want to check
.PARAMETER Channel
The log name that is used by the application
.PARAMETER ProviderName
The application that you want to watch
.PARAMETER EventID
The event IDs you want to filter. Seperate multiple IDs with comma
.PARAMETER WarningEvents
The event IDs you want to raise a warning when found. Those IDs also have to be included in the event ids
.PARAMETER ErrorEvents
The event IDs you want to raise a error when found. Those IDs also have to be included in the event ids
.Parameter Levels
The Loglevels you want to include in the search
.PARAMETER MaxAge
The age of the Logfile in hours
.PARAMETER LimitEntries
Maximum number of log entries to be checked (order is new -> old)
.PARAMETER WarningStrings
Put the sensor into a warning state when a certain string is found within the message
.PARAMETER ErrorStrings
Put the sensor into a error state when a certain string is found within the message
.PARAMETER StateBasedOnLastID
If this parameter is set, not the sheer number of events will decide if the sensor will go into error or warning state,
but only the event id of the last entry found. This is useful for RAID controllers, etc.
.PARAMETER StateBasedOnLastMessage
If this parameter is set, not the sheer number of events will decide if the sensor will go into error or warning state,
but only the message of the last entry found. This is useful if messages have the same event ID for errors and information events.
.PARAMETER Username and Password
The username and password that the script should use to create the credential object.
Format -Username "domain\username" -Password 'yourpass'
.OUTPUTS
<number of entries found>:<entries> found in the event log. Last message: <last entry message>
.EXAMPLE
C:\PS> .\Get-Events.ps1 -ComputerName %host -Username "%windowsdomain\%windowsuser" -Password "%windowspassword" -ProviderName "Microsoft-Windows-Immersive-Shell" -Channel "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" -LimitEntries 1 -MaxAge 1 -EventID 1719 -Level 4

This-EvaluateLogResults;In order to get detailed information about the event you want to monitor, please open the Windows Event Viewer application, search for the event and switch to the detail tab. Select the XML view to see all properties of the event.
Parameter example:
-ComputerName %host -Username "%windowsdomain\%windowsuser" -Password "%windowspassword" -MaxAge 8 -Channel 'Application' -ProviderName 'ESENT' -EventID @(105,200,301) -WarningEvents @(200) -ErrorEvents @(301) -AlwaysShowLastMessage
The % variables will be replaced automatically by PRTG. If you want to look for multiple event IDs, strings, logs and providers, simply add them to the array:
IDs @(101,102,103,104)
Events, Strings @("String 1","String 2")
If you want to work with channel limits instead of the hardcoded limits (0 = green, 1 = warning, 2 and above = error), edit the lines 155 and 156, specifically the exit code.
Important The user you use needs to have administrative privileges on the target device; he can't read the events as a normal user.
Note: Newer PRTG versions require a different parameter setup. Please check the following script:
The script has been updated with the following modifications: the MaxAge parameter has been changed from hours to minutes, and the comments/help output have been updated to reflect the new parameter names. Unnecessary debug statements have been removed, and the script now properly strips `\n\r` characters from messages for compatibility with PowerShell 2.0. Additionally, the `-ErrorAction Stop` parameter has been added to the `Get-WinEvent` call to trap non-fatal "No matching events" exceptions, improving stability, especially with PowerShell 2.0.

# Version Date Who Description
#---------------------------------------------------
# 1.3 11/14/2019 Todd Piket Updated the comments / help output to match the new parameter names. Forgot
# to mention I changed the MaxAge parameter from hours to MINUTES. Removed a
# bunch of commented out debug statements. Put back the stripping of the
# \n\r characters because Powershell 2.0 doesn't like them.
# Add the -ErrorAction Stop parameter to the Get-WinEvent call so I could trap
# the non-fataln "No matching events" exception because it was making PRTG cranky.
# Maybe this is only an issue with Powershell 2.0 (again), but it's probably a good
# idea to trap this exception anyway.
# 1.2 11/13/2019 Todd Piket Made ProviderName optional. Removed truncation of message to 50 characters
# so I can see the full message. Made the switch parameters function properly
# by removing default value of $true. Changed the AlwaysShowMessage switch to
# more specific ShowLastMessage. Added the ShowAllMessages switch so you can
# return all the messages that match the provided criteria if you want. Added
# a TruncateMessage switch and TruncateMessageLenght parameter so the user can
# specify the truncation and length of messages, if desired. Changed Channel
# parameter to LogNames. Pluralized all parameter namess that can take in a
# list of items. Change the item list for array parameters to be a comma
# delimited string and then turn the string into a Powershell array later.
# This works around the PRTG problem of using the @ sign when passing parameters
# to Powershell.

.SYNOPSIS
Reads the windows eventlog and filters for the specified events.
.DESCRIPTION
This custom sensor for PRTG will read the given EventLog file and search it
for the defined events. It also allows to error if the last event found has a certain ID or
Message.
.PARAMETER ComputerName
The computer whose event log you want to check
.PARAMETER LogNames
The log name that is used by the application
.PARAMETER ProviderNames
The application(s) that you want to watch
.PARAMETER EventIDs
The event IDs you want to filter. Seperate multiple IDs with comma
.PARAMETER WarningEvents
The event IDs you want to raise a warning when found. Those IDs also have to be included in the event ids
.PARAMETER ErrorEvents
The event IDs you want to raise a error when found. Those IDs also have to be included in the event ids
.Parameter Levels
The Loglevels you want to include in the search. See MS for Log Level enumeration.
.PARAMETER MaxAge
How far back to look in the log in MINUTES
.PARAMETER LimitEntries
Maximum number of log entries to be checked (order is new -> old)
.PARAMETER WarningStrings
Put the sensor into a warning state when a certain string is found within the message. Separate multiple strings with comma
.PARAMETER ErrorStrings
Put the sensor into a error state when a certain string is found within the message. Separate multiple strings with comma
.PARAMETER ShowLastMessage
If this parameter is set, only the last (most recent) message from the event log will be returned.
.PARAMETER ShowAllMessages
If this parameter is set, all messages from the eventlog matching the specified parameters will be returned.
.PARAMETER TruncateMessage
If this parameter is set, all messages from the eventlog will be truncated to the length specified by the
TruncateMessageLength parameter. If ShowAllMessages is specified, then EACH MESSAGE FOUND will be truncated to the
length specified.
.PARAMETER TruncateMessageLength
If this parameter is set, all messages from the eventlog will be truncated to the specfied length. If ShowAllMessages
is specified, then EACH MESSAGE FOUND will be truncated to the length specified.
.PARAMETER StateBasedOnLastID
If this parameter is set, not the sheer number of events will decide if the sensor will go into error or warning state,
but only the event id of the last entry found. This is useful for RAID controllers, etc.
.PARAMETER StateBasedOnLastMessage
If this parameter is set, not the sheer number of events will decide if the sensor will go into error or warning state,
but only the message of the last entry found. This is useful if messages have the same event ID for errors and information events.
.PARAMETER Username and Password
The username and password that the script should use to create the credential object.
Format -Username "domain\username" -Password 'yourpass'
.OUTPUTS
<number of entries found>:<entries> found in the event log. Last message: <last entry message>
