I have a need to include the text from an event log entry in my failure notification for a given job. I have seen where an event log entry can be used as a trigger, but can an event log entry be read into a variable and then used to send out as a notification?

Scenario: An execute job runs that launches a homegrown .NET application. The application throws and exception with useful information, but for whatever reason VisualCron does not capture that output. The application also writes this data to the Windows application log. I would like to be able to read that event log entry and include it in a notification.

Thanks in advance.

I think my original post summarizes the incident that prompted me to look for this sort of task. Beyond that type of functionality would be bonus. Thanks again.
