I have used this:
https://www.monitoringexchange.org/inventory/Check-Plugins/Operating-Systems/Windows/Enhanced-Windows-eventlog-check
to check a Windows Eventlog with NSClient++.

[NRPE Handlers]
check_intel_raid=scripts\elog.exe --include Source:RAIDService --period
720

This checks for the occurrence of Events with the Source named
"RAIDService" within the last 30 hours.

Be aware that the Service will turn green without beeing repaired after
30 hours as long as it will not be reported anymore.
And it will stay read even if another event shows that the problem was
solved.

But it helps to get informed about the Event.

Hope that helps
