Hi.

I am able to successfully Splunk Windows Security Event logs. I am have a challenge configuring my inputs.conf file to send data logged in %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\Microsoft-IIS-Configuration%4Operational.evtx. These events appear in the event viewer - Applications and Service Logs - Microsoft - Windows - IIS-Configuration

Any direction would be great.
