Hi!

In order to collect powershell logs by winlogbeat 6.8, I tried to change config file just adding 2 rows under

```auto
winlogbeat.event_logs:
-name: Windows Powershell
-name: Microsoft-Windows-Powershell/Operational

```

Unfortunately, as a result, I see powershell logs only from system. Has anybody faced with this issue?

Does the winlogbeat log contain any warnings or errors?

I notice a case issue with the names. `Powershell` should be `PowerShell`. Maybe that's the issue.

```auto
  - name: Windows PowerShell
  - name: Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational

```
