Hello,

I have a question about WinlogBeat, I've installed and configured it and all is working perfectly, my question is:  
How is WinlogBeat working ? I currently see all the logs about all the users in the network, isn't it supposed to be local because I installed it only in my pc or maybe it is because I'm in a domain AD? Then, how can I see only the logs about my pc ?

Regards.

How and where have you configured your winlogbeat.yml to read logs from?  
Depending on what event logs are coming into that machine I would expect all `application`, `security`, `audit`, etc, to be collected.

I just have this:

```
winlogbeat.event_logs:
  - name: Security
    ignore_older: 168h

output.logstash:
  hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
```

From research it looks like windows security event logs collect the full EVID 4000-6000 list. I imagine if the security event logs pertain to a domain then you will have `account logon`, `account management`, `detailed tracking`, `ds access`, `logon/logoff`, `object access`, `policy change`, `privilege use` and `system` events in there.
