Fields from the Windows Event Log.
-
event.original
-
The raw XML representation of the event obtained from Windows. This field is only available on operating systems supporting the Windows Event Log API (Microsoft Windows Vista and newer). This field is not included by default and must be enabled by setting
include_xml: true
as a configuration option for an individual event log. The XML representation of the event is useful for troubleshooting purposes. The data in the fields reported by Winlogbeat can be compared to the data in the XML to diagnose problems.
All fields specific to the Windows Event Log are defined here.
-
winlog.api
-
The event log API type used to read the record. The possible values are "wineventlog" for the Windows Event Log API or "wineventlog-experimental" for its experimental implementation.
required: True
-
winlog.activity_id
-
A globally unique identifier that identifies the current activity. The events that are published with this identifier are part of the same activity.
type: keyword
required: False
-
winlog.computer_name
-
The name of the computer that generated the record. When using Windows event forwarding, this name can differ from
agent.hostname
.type: keyword
required: True
-
winlog.computerObject.domain
-
The domain of the account that was added, modified or deleted in the event.
type: keyword
required: False
-
winlog.computerObject.id
-
A globally unique identifier that identifies the target device.
type: keyword
required: False
-
winlog.computerObject.name
-
The account name that was added, modified or deleted in the event.
type: keyword
required: False
-
winlog.event_data
-
The event-specific data. This field is mutually exclusive with
user_data
. If you are capturing event data on versions prior to Windows Vista, the parameters inevent_data
are namedparam1
,param2
, and so on, because event log parameters are unnamed in earlier versions of Windows.type: object
required: False
This is a non-exhaustive list of parameters that are used in Windows events. By having these fields defined in the template they can be used in dashboards and machine-learning jobs.
