- Choose to create a Alert Generating Rules/Event Based/Generic Text Log (Alert), click next
- Input a rule name and choose rule target, click next
- Input a directory, for example C:\, input a pattern, for example logfile.log, click next

Operator = Matches wildcard
Value = warning
click next - Configure a suitable alert and then click create
Please note that this rule is case sensitiv, so it will make difference between WARNING and warning.
