Alert on new windows update available

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hello there,

I have an idea of creating a watcher that sends me a mail when a new windows update is detected by the windows update service on a specific server. I already tried to find something with winlogbeat but i didnt find what i was searching for.
Do you guys have any idea on how i could find update messages in my log to filter on it in my watcher alert ?

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure you will get this through an eventlog. You may have better luck using filebeat and the windows update log files

That could solve my problem, i'll try that.

thank you
