I'm having an issue with a false alarm going off for a Task Schedule being monitored on a Windows 2008 R2 server. I have two tasks that run daily on a server, one at 3am and the other at 430am. Each run once daily.

I have tried a different combinations for the LastRun Error Limits (low and high) and I can't seem to find something suitable that will only trigger if the task didn't run in longer than 24 hours.

I set the Low Error limit to 1440 and there's about a 5-7 min window after the task runs when I'll receive an alert.

I thought I should set 1440 minutes to the Upper Error limit. It says the "Values above this value will set the state to "Down" but then the monitor throws an error

If you want this sensor to alert you when the task has not been run for 24hrs you should be able to set the upper error limit on the LastRun Channel to 86400 since that is the number of seconds in 24hrs. Setting it to 1440 is only 24 minutes since this value is measured in seconds.

Ok, I thought I tried that as well, but I will test it out.
