Monitor .Exe files - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

Hey Guys,

is there a quick and easy way to monitor .exe within the Windows sys32 folder via a stanza ?

I need to know if the file is ran / closed / renamed or moved

I tried the [monitor] stanza but it looks like that only monitors the file contents i.e. file edits

Thank you

Probably the security events might help you
