I found the solution.

for getting logs on-boarded from the path: C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-DNSServer%4Audit.evtx. We need below stanza in inputs.conf on universal forwarder:

[WinEventLog://Microsoft-Windows-DNSServer/Audit]
checkpointInterval = 5
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
index =
start_from = oldest
