This will fire if you restart the service, shut it down, or any other actions that could be taken upon the service. If you want to find logs regarding this Event ID follow these steps.</P> <P>While Sysmon is running, go to powershell and type in "services.msc". This will open the list of services currently running on your machine. Find Sysmon and select it. Then click restart. If you want more than one log, repeat the restart action multiple times. Now wait some time then check Splunk for Event ID 4.</P> <P>Event ID 255: Error: I honestly do not know how to produce this event but again it is a rare event. </P> <P>I hope this helps! Have a wonderful day!</P> <P>Resources:<BR /> <A href="https://www.ultimatewindowssecurity.com/securitylog/encyclopedia/default.aspx?i=j">https://www.ultimatewindowssecurity.com/securitylog/encyclopedia/default.aspx?i=j</A></P> Wed, 27 Nov 2019 19:11:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise-Security/Sysmon-query-for-unauthorized-process/m-p/410912#M4823 larchinal75 2019-11-27T19:11:46Z
