Hi,
When i click on 'Windows Event Logs' in Add data to Splunk ( please see the below Print-screen )

I am getting only this option ( Please see the below print-screen )

But in the Video of Splunk, it is showing lots of Option such as Collect Windows event log from other machine. ( Please see the below print-screen )

Can you tell me, why this option is not showing to me??

That option is only available when Splunk is installed on a Windows host. If you're not running on Windows, you need a Windows forwarder to get at that data.
