Hi,

Anybody knows how to include the windows server backup logs using Splunk_TA_windows addon? I have tried adding the following configuration to local\inputs.conf but it does not seem to work.

[WinEventLog:Microsoft-Windows-Backup/Operational]
disabled = 0
index = wineventlog
renderXml=false
start_from = oldest
checkpointInterval = 5

Any suggestions please?
