I am running Splunk 7.0.2 and I would like to monitor Active Directory GPO changes on splunk enterprise.
What is the best way to do that?
Is there any recommended app?

Thanks in advance.

The logs are already forwarded to splunk, but i really need to create an alert when a GPO is modified, created etc.
Is there a way to do it?

look for EventCode=4735 for group changes, EventCode=4732 OR eventCode=4733 for user change
i use this website to verify what the event codes in windows mean:

put the needed event code at the end of url

hope it helps

ask your AD admin / owner what is the eventcoeds they are interested in, check you see it in splunk, write a search that answers your question
