How to pull in Windows Event logs from the Windows PowerShell path

TheBravoSierra
Path Finder

Hi,

I'm trying to pull in Windows Event logs from the Windows PowerShell path. This path includes 800s, which I've seen in event viewer so I know they're generated and stored here. I just can't seem to pull anything and I don't see much help on the internet to pulling this path.

This is my inputs.conf: 

[WinEventLog://Windows PowerShell/]
disabled=0

 

Note: This is different from the other PowerShell path where I get my 4103 and 4104 codes: 

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational]
disabled=0

 

Any helps is appreciated. Thanks.

My inputs.conf was incorrect. I had a / at the end of PowerShell. Removed the / and now it is ingesting properly.

You have to get a proper path from the Event Log properties.

You seem to have a right one in the second case (Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational).

But the first one doesn't seem right. Check the properties of this log in Event Viewer and see its Full Name
