Still struggling with this....and am guessing the documentation is out 
there to solve it but...

Q is there a link someone can suggest (or a thread from this group) that 
outlines for a newbie at the most basic level, how to create a simple rule 
(and decoder?) that sends an alert if a specific event happens in the 
windows event log?

Thank you.
