Thank you. IMHO, it's a change that probably should have been more widely announced and probably involved a touchpoint from account teams. This was a deviation from the way the UF's have operated since Day 1. (Yes, it's mentioned in the release notes ... but with no specific solutions to commonly ingested logs ... ) Like the release notes could have at least mentioned that in order to read Sysmon logs, you need to add "SplunkForwarder" to the Event Log Readers group. That took a while to figure out ... and yeah, it does appear that Event Log Readers doesn't imply all logs. So, yes. Application logs are going to be tricky to remediate. But at least we're not in danger of exceeding our license threshold. (¬_¬)
