Hi,

Is there anyway we can use ForwardedEvents in logstash with eventlog input plugin?

Windows Os Event log are in encrypted format, because of which the file input is not working i believe, I tried something like below and I dont see logstash able to read anydata other than Application,System and Security.

input {  
file {  
type =\> "Win32-EventLog'"  
path =\> ["C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\ForwardedEvents.evtx"]  
start\_position =\> "beginning"  
}  
}

How can I add another file called Forwarded Events?

Thanks
