Hi @meg 

Please can you confirm the sourcetype that you are using?

Also, is this being read directly using a UF and sent to Splunk without going via other systems? 

Are you ingesting this using the Splunk Add-on for Sysmon for Linux on the UF?

renderXml = false

This setting is typically used in Universal Forwarder or inputs.conf for Windows Event Logs. If you're forwarding Linux logs, this setting might not be relevant unless you're using it in a specific context.

Have you installed the below add-on to parse the data? Can you share your inputs.conf file here.
