NinjaOne Policies: Windows Event Condition

When adding a Windows Event condition in NinjaOne, you must specify two things:

  • Event ID
  • Source

NinjaOne uses the 'Provider Name' for the 'Source'. The Source / Provider Name fields can support wildcards (*) if needed.

To Get a 'Provider Name':

  1. Open the Windows Event Viewer.
  2. Scroll to the event that needs notifications.

  3. Open the Details tab and select XML View; look for Provider Name.

    This Provider Name is what you need to enter for the source in your Windows Event condition.

    Important Note: The source you have to put in your NinjaOne condition must match the format from your Event Viewer Details tab (e.g., "Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP", not "Windows Security").
