Getting Data In

Universal Forwarder and AppLocker Events XML

Hey Guys trying to toubleshoot an issue here. Trying to get the XML events from the UF on Windows machines into splunk.

The normal

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-AppLocker/EXE and DLL]

seems to work, but for some reason if I change to get the extended xml version of

[XmlWinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-AppLocker/EXE and DLL]

it does not send anything through to the indexer.

I am wondering if there is maybe a setting in windows preventing the splunk UF from obtaining the XML exports of the events? anyone able to shed some light on this?
