Alerting on Windows Event logs

Hi, I was wondering if anyone is aware of a way to get alerted to new events in Windows Event logs on a server via Power Automate? Is there a connector that can find application/system events on a server, or is this something typically done in PowerShell?

Thank you!

Hi @VictorIvanidze thanks! yep I saw that one and wrote my powershell script based on the same page. I guess I was just trying to make it easier to see if Power Automate could pick up on events to trigger a flow to make it simpler.
Now that I think about it (if someone really wanted to do this), we could:
Trigger the powershell script to run from the event

Use the powershell to call the Power Automate flow

The intent of my original post was to try to avoid all that scripting by seeing if there's a way that Power Automate could trigger based on a Windows Event itself, but if someone really wanted to trigger a flow based on an event, they should be able to.
