How do I monitor Desired State Config event logs?

I'm trying to monitor the Desired State Configuration event logs on some Windows servers. I cannot seem to get the monitor stanza to work. Here's the current stanza:

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-Desired State Configuration/Operational]

I've also tried removing the spaces in 'Desired State Configuration' with no luck.

Anyone successfully monitor these events? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-DSC/Operational]
