Hello,

I have some windows log files and I have uploaded them to my cluster using winlogbeat [[Not sure how to read from .evtx files | Winlogbeat Reference [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/master/reading-from-evtx.html)]

I would like to know if it's possible to run detection rules for that logs to help me in my investigation as there is log ot logs ?

Thanks for your help

The only thing I could think of that might work in Elastic is to adjust the lookback time on when a rule is run or build visualizations that match the detection query and run your logs against the visualization in Kibana.

There are a few alternatives that can run SIGMA rules against event log files. You could convert your detection rules to SIGMA and then run your logs against those rules.
