Hi Splunkers!

   I would like to know how to define a .evtx file,

   I had defined in this way, but it didn't works

[monitor://C:\Windows\System32\Winevt\Logs\Data Security.evtx]

 

Thanks!

Hi @smanojkumar,

let me understand: you need to index WinEvenLog events, is it correct?

in this case you don't need to monitor an evtx file but there's a dedicated collector.

More more infos see at

Ciao.

Hi

On windows node just define that input on inputs.conf like @gcusello told. There are examples on those documents. 

If those files are on linux (restored e.g. from backups or something else) you could check it from this old post https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Ingesting-offline-Windows-Event-logs-from-different-...
