I am attempting this for the first time and I'm not sure the best approach:

I am writing a rule to alert based on EventSource and Parameter 3 and multiple 
Event IDs. The part that I'm stumbling on is using AND/OR logic if EventSource 
and Params/Param[3] are an AND statement while EventID is an 'or' statement 
within the 'and' expression. The formula would look like this:



*         ( ( Event Source Equals Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing ) AND ( 
Parameter 3 Equals TestGroup ) AND  (( Event ID Equals 1 ) OR ( Event ID Equals 
2 ) OR ( Event ID Equals 3 ) ))


EventSource and Parameter 3 will always be static, but I want to alert whether 
the EventID is 1, 2, or 3. When I create a Rule within the SCOM console, it 
doesn't look like I can do a grouped OR expression within an AND expression. 
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The other way I thought of accomplishing this is via VSAE defining multiple 
data sources (one for each Event ID). However, once I filled them out it 
complained about not have condition detection. I have never worked with 
Condition Detection, so I referenced this link 
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee533928.aspx). It now makes sense 
why a condition detection is needed with multiple data sources. The issue I'm 
up against is not knowing which Module Type I need for the condition detection. 
How do you know which one is appropriate? Is MSDN the only resource or are 
there others out there? I've been looking for examples online but the only 
examples I find do not match the AND/OR logic above.

Are either of these approaches the preferred method? Or is there a better way I 
am not aware of? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
