Get a list of the Hyper-V event log channel names and then add them to your winlogbeat.yml file.

As mentioned in [Winlogbeat - How to determine correct channel names](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/winlogbeat-how-to-determine-correct-channel-names/136722/4) try using `Get-WinEvent -ListLog * | Format-List -Property LogName | Select-String -Pattern "Hyper-V"`. Then for each channel name add an entry to the config file.
