Windows EventViewer Errors and Warnings

Question

I am new to this company and have been asked to work initially to assist our Application Group with their concerns over some applications suffering performance problems.   I interviewed the Group Supervisor and he has indicated that he would like me
to review "all" errors and warnings in the EventViewer Logs and rule out any errors and warnings that "may" cause issues for his applications on the servers.   His objective is to rule out O/S and hardware errors and warnings by having
me review all daily errors and warnings and solving them, if they are related to O/S and hardware.   By doing this, he feels that the other errors will indicate that he needs to address them from an application point of view.
I explained to him that this will be too consuming and not practical as there are over 300 servers to address.  Instead, we need a tool or application that can provide alerts on specific events that we have determined warrant reviews.   I explained
that many of the errors and warnings he has seen over the last month "may/and probably" was a result of conditions that are not currently within my control (due to budgetary limitations that don't allow us to purchase optimal hardware, bandwith,
power protection services, etc).  For example, we recently encountered severe weather conditions that affected the power to our Data Center.  These conditions caused latency and power fluctuations that were recordedin the Event Logs.   The errors
and warnings during this time eventually went away when weather improved.   Unfortunately, this explanation did not suit him.
So, I am left with a problem.   I need to satisfy his request since he is a high level supervisor.   I will , therefore, need to identify a solution and I believe that may be an application that will give us the ability to selectively identify
events in the EventViewer Application and System logs and alert us within threshhold limits when those events occur.   We can then determine which event is "chronic" and then we can filter most of the events to just a few to be concerned with
and then we can devote time to solve them.
Is there anything out there that can do this for us?   I'm thinking of something like SolarWinds NPM and APPLICATION Monitoring.....or, something like that.   I don't even know if Solarwinds products can provide what we need.
Thanks in advance
