Hi all,

I usually onboard Windows Server 2008 and newer but 2003 it is not working with below Stanza 

# Windows platform specific input processor.
[WinEventLog://Application]
disabled = 0 
[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = 0 
[WinEventLog://System]
disabled = 0 

is it possible to read the files like this?

[monitor://C:\WINDOWS\System32\config\AppEvent.Evt]

Best,

N.

Splunk doesn't support Win2003.  Perhaps you can find a third-party tool that can export the event log into a  form Splunk can ingest.
