I would like to be able to configure the Splunk Add-on for Sysmon to ingest logs from a file instead of the Windows Event Log directly. The default input.conf in the Splunk Add-on for Sysmon App contains the following: [WinEventLog://WEC-Sysmon] disabled = true renderXml = 1 source = XmlWinEventLog:Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational sourcetype = XmlWinEventLog:WEC-Sysmon host = WinEventLogForwardHost I tried to override the input like so: [monitor:///path/to/my_file/filename.log] disabled = false renderXml = 1 source = XmlWinEventLog:Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational sourcetype = XmlWinEventLog:WEC-Sysmon host = WinEventLogForwardHost Unfortunately, it doesn't work and no logs appear to be sent by the Heavy Forwarder to my Indexer. the file I am using contains Windows Logs in a standard Windows Event Log XML format (1 per line). I want to be CIM compliant with my Sysmon logs but I cannot use a WinEventLog:// input, I have to use a file input.
