I'm trying to upload a set of .evtx files to my ELK Stack environment using WinLogBeat. I haven't been able to find any online resources that really help me out in doing this. I was hoping someone here could help point me in the right direction? The event files are not from a live windows machine. These files have been previously recorded and saved to my host machine for analysis. These are fairly large files, so I assume the process will take a bit of time to complete as well. Thank you! ---
