Hey guys, can i get logs from the folder "application and service log" on the event viewer and to transfer them with winlogbeat?  
i can see it only gets logs from the folder windows logs.

Yes, you just need to get the full name of the specific log you want. See the commands in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/configuration-winlogbeat-options.html#configuration-winlogbeat-options-event\_logs-name](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/configuration-winlogbeat-options.html#configuration-winlogbeat-options-event_logs-name).
