"INFO Non-zero metrics in the last 30s" with Winlogbeat

Hi !

I'm trying to send Forwarded Events logs with Winlogbeat to a Logstash instance.

Here is my winlogbeat.yml file :

winlogbeat.event_logs:
  - name: ForwardedEvents

setup.kibana:
  host: "192.168.101.119:5601"

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["192.168.101.121:5044"]

And here is my log file :

And my Logstash configuration file :

input {
    tcp {
        port => "514"
    }
    beats {
        port => "5044"
        tags => ["beats"]
    }
}

filter {
    mutate {
        add_field => [ "real_ip", "%{host}" ]
    }
}

output {
    udp {
        host => ["192.168.101.112"] 
        port => 514
        codec => "json"
    }
    stdout {}
    kafka {
        bootstrap_servers => "192.168.101.126:9092,192.168.101.127:9092,192.168.101.125:9092"
        topic_id => "logstash"
        codec => "json"
    }
}

If I change "ForwardedEvents" with "Security" in the YAML file, it works. So the problem seems to come from this parameters.

Thank you for any help with my issue :slight_smile:

Ok it was a problem with the windows subscription. It works fine.
