By default the option to Add Filter is disabled, to activate click on the ‘Send a notification’ box. The Add Filter button will turn from pale blue to navy blue.

In the newly opened window provide a title for your new alert and select Security for Event Logs and Failure Audits for Level fields for drop down menu.
