Getting Data In

Is there an easy way to access Microsoft specific folders for event log extraction?

I am trying to sort through certain event logs, and I am noticing that some I am searching for aren't under either System, Security, or Application. Instead, they reside under the Microsoft-specific event folders, such as Microsoft-Windows-ApplicationExperience/Program-Inventory. Is there an easy way to access these? I am already getting the Security, System, and Application ones through inputs.conf. Thanks.
