Require Windows Event log in Raw XML Format
I am having trouble configuring NXlog Enterprise to forward Windows Event log in the original raw XML format that is shown in the XML View in Details Tab. The required data is:
<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
<System>
<Provider Guid="{54849625-5478-4994-A5BA-3E3B0328C30D}" Name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing"/>
<EventID>4624</EventID>
<Version>2</Version>
<Level>Information</Level>
<Task>Logon</Task>
<Opcode>Info</Opcode>
<Keywords>Audit Success</Keywords>
<TimeCreated SystemTime="2022-09-15T07:25:38.254241000Z"/>
<EventRecordID>6733</EventRecordID>
<Correlation ActivityID="{9C53E768-C82B-0003-78E7-539C2BC8D801}"/>
<Execution ProcessID="772" ThreadID="19980"/>

<Security/>
</System>
<EventData>

</EventData>
</Event>
The data I am currently receiving is the informatio in the General Tab instead.
I have applied the following configuration to convert the data in XML format:
define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog
Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data
LogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log
<Extension _syslog>
Module xm_syslog
</Extension>
<Extension _json>
Module xm_json
</Extension>
<Extension xml>
Module xm_xml
</Extension>
<Input in_win>
Module im_msvistalog
Query <QueryList> \
<Query Id="0"> \
<Select Path="Application">*</Select> \
<Select Path="System">*</Select> \
<Select Path="Security">*</Select> \
</Query> \
</QueryList>
Exec $Message=$EventXML;$log_type=$event_trace;to_xml();
</Input>
<Output out_win>
Module om_udp
Host 192.168.108.201:514
</Output>
<Route 2>
Path in_win => out_win
</Route>
However, I am not able to get the desired output. The data I am currently receiving is:
