Im assuming the correct syntax for my inputs.conf entry would be:

[monitor://WinEventLog:ChangeRequestWebService ??

Im throwing a guess as Ive seen similar threads same event viewer path

Why assume when you can get the right answer from the manual?  😀

Don't guess, don't assume. Right click on the log you want -> Properties.

Copy-paste the Full Name property.

For example:
