hi experts

seek assistance with configuring Sysmon for inputs.conf on a Splunk Universal Forwarder.

Configuration based on the Splunk Technology Add-on (TA) for Sysmon.

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational]
disabled = false
renderXml = 1
source = XmlWinEventLog:Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational
index = sysmon


is this the correct config ?

The path looks good. Assuming your index=sysmon exists, it should bring in logs. Give it a shot and see if the logs come in.
