Everything I read online is confusing, I am trying to get windows logs to logstash. I have no idea what I am doing wrong and all the reading I am doing is getting me no where. My setup is ELK on an Unbuntu system. I have a Win7 system that I want to get the logs from. Can somebody post an example of right looks like. Thanks in advance.
