Where have you placed your WQL query for sourcetype="WMI:Service"? It’s recommended to also deploy Splunk_TA_windows on your Heavy Forwarder, as it already includes a parser for this.

Hi @chandrasekhar46 ,

usually Splunk_TA_Windows correctly parse all windows events, even if this seems to be a very strange windows logs that usually have a different format; are these logs windows servers logs or application logs?

Anyway, you should install Splunk_TA_Windows both on UF, HF and SH.

Ciao.
