Suspect overlapping field names

Hi Everybody,

I'm trying to forward osquery logs stored in windows event log. That part seems to work, except that the "message" field inside of EventData isn't included. However, the "Location" field inside of EventData is. I'm thinking that since the name the location field is just "location", the message field should be message. It looks like the message field exists, and just contains generic text instead of the data. I'm wondering if the two names (Message, and EventData.Message) are in conflict. Is that a possibility? Is there a way to read EventData fields as "EventData.Fieldname" instead of just "FieldName"?

A snippit of the to_json() output: "AccountType":"User","Message":"Information","Location":"<empty>:0"

A snippit from the event viewer xml view: <EventData> <Data Name="Message">{"name":"disk_info","hostIdentifier":"XXXXXXXXX","calendarTime":"Fri Jan 15 15:16:57 2021 UTC","

Thanks
