Windows Event Log

The winlog input plugin allows you to read Windows Event Log.
Configuration Parameters
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Key
Description
Default
Channels
A comma-separated list of channels to read from.
​
Interval_Sec
Set the polling interval for each channel. (optional)
1
DB
Set the path to save the read offsets. (optional)
​
Note that if you do not set db, the plugin will read channels from the beginning on each startup.
Configuration Examples
Configuration File
Here is a minimum configuration example.
[INPUT]
    Name         winlog
    Channels     Setup,Windows PowerShell
    Interval_Sec 1
    DB           winlog.sqlite
​
[OUTPUT]
    Name   stdout
    Match  *
Note that some Windows Event Log channels (like Security) requires an admin privilege for reading. In this case, you need to run fluent-bit as an administrator.
Command Line
If you want to do a quick test, you can run this plugin from the command line.
$ fluent-bit -i winlog -p 'channels=Setup' -o stdout
