Indexing exported .evtx files in XML format (NetApp file audit logs)

Hi,

I have to index exported .evxt files on a Windows box. I can process these evtx files with Splunk and events looks likes as in Windows Event viewer's "General" tabs shows it. Unfortunately, because of the structure of the event, I need the events in the format as the "Detailed" tab show them.

So the question: how can I index evtx files in "Detailed" (XML) format? So far renderXml stanza doesn't help me. Currently I user simple Monitor stanza to monitor the directory of the evtx files.

To be more specific: these are NetApp-Security-Audit files, about events accessing shared files. How should I handle this files, does anyone has (good) experience whit them?

Regards,
István
