Windows .evt files to graylog | Log collection solutions

#1 mathieurv 8 years ago

Has anyone succeed in sending .evt file content to graylog ?

Actually, I found that:

- Using im_file module I can parse .evt file and send its content outside, but logs are bad formatted

- Using im_vistalog module I can't parse .evt files only the Windows Event log, but logs are well formatted

Any advice someone ?

Maybe it is possible to send the ouput of im_file to im_vistalog ?

Thanks,

.evt and .evtx files are in special binary format, collecting this with im_file will not work. The NXLog Enterprise Edition can read .evtx files directly with the im_msvistalog module.
