I am trying to take the records to create user account, delete user account and modify user account.

I have also been asked to take audit events on files and folders, this send it to logstash.

I have already installed winlogbeat and it is already sending data to logstash and this to elasticsearch but I do not know which event corresponds to each of the aforementioned actions, my knowledge of log log storage in windows is null.

I don't know if anyone has had the same problem, thank you very much.

We have started building a module for the Security event log that will apply categorization and normalization based on Elastic Common Schema (ECS). You can try out the module or look at its [source code](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/x-pack/winlogbeat/module/security/config/winlogbeat-security.js) to see what it does.

- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-reference.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/ecs-reference.html)

We're still working on developing the categories that will go into ECS.
