Hello, I just started ELK and english i suck.  
but I have an ELK trial project to analyze Windows Event Logs. Now I have installed ELK on Ubuntu Vm. If I want to take the log file example into the logstash for analysis. How can I do this and where can I find a log file sample for testing? All done on a single computer.

Create windows os on vm and sent log file from new vm ?  
Import log files from the main operating system ?

Please help me.
