Hey everyone,

I'm a newbie trying to figure out how to monitor Windows log events using ELK Stack and Winlogbeat. I've got them installed, but now I'm a bit lost on what to do with all the info.

Any advice, tutorials, or resources you can throw my way would be awesome. If you've been through this and have some tips or know of easy-to-follow guides, hit me up!

Thanks a bunch,

Hello,

Did you load the packaged dashboards? They should help you with whats happening with your logs. [Load Kibana dashboards | Winlogbeat Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html)

Thanks,  
Bhavya
