Hi ,  
I am completely new to this Alert creation. Need to create alert for winlogbeat with search guard.  
Does anyone have a template or know where I can find an example watch for an event log?

sorry - you won't find much help on this forum for questions about SearchGaurd (because it is a commercial product made by a different company)
