Ingest DNS Analytical Logs

vulnfree
Explorer

Hi Splunkers,

I'm having issues ingesting Windows DNS Server Analytical logs. What's strange is that I am able to pull Audit logs with the following details in the inputs.conf file:

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-DNSServer/Audit]
disabled=0
index=dns

When I do the same thing for Analytical it does not work:

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-DNSServer/Analytical]
disabled=0
index=dns

Has anyone had any luck here? 

Thank you!
