All,

Any more guidance here? Is there an input I need to enable I am missing? As they expecting this as a scheduled task? How is there a TA? What interval? Not a windows guy here so I a little confused on the ask.

###### Windows Update Log ######
# Windows update logs for newer Windows OS like Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 are generated using ETW (Event Tracing for Windows).
# Please run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command to convert ETW traces into a readable WindowsUpdate.log.
# Further to index data of the log file thus generated, you may also require to change the location mentioned
# in the below monitor stanza to provide the path where you have generated the file after conversion.
