Hy,

i dont know why, but since 5 days i become no more Event Logs from Client PC's (Windows XP).

When i remote connect to this PC's i see new Events, but Splunk become nothing.
Can i see anywhere why?.

From all Servers i become the logs all the time, only client pc's stop this since 5 days, and i dont know why.

greets.

I was now change the configuration from "Computername" to there IP-Adress and now i become reports...hm...i must check this the next few days.

Other Question, how can i do a dashboard with manually Computernames?
When i do a event log dashboard i use:

source="WMI:WinEventLog:" ComputerName="" | stats count count(eval(Type="Warnung")) as warnings count(eval(Type="Fehler")) as errors by host

But we have MAC-Adress as Computername, i see only "FFC00..." "FF00..." and so on, how must i change the search command that i have costum Names for the restults?
FFCC00 = Computer1
FF00 = Computer2 and so on.

greets.

Have you checked the splunkd.log on both server and client?

I would check client event logs since you are collecting with WMI.
