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
