Is there a sensor that will allow me to detect when a Windows system reboot has been initiated on a server?

I was thinking that one way would be to look for "Event ID 1074: System has been shutdown by a process/user" in the Event Log and immediately trigger a notification? Is this even possible?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

PRTG sensors check on notification triggers only upon the sensor scan. You can use the Event Log sensor, or indirectly the System Uptime sensor to trigger a notification, but it would not be in the same moment, as PRTG works based on sensor scanning intervals.
