Hi Team,

I can read all channel events i.e Application, Security, PowerShell and etc but not able to read DNS Server events.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/1/11719836158bc5b7ffd7e1dc8f93a128834f35c7.png)

configuration is

```auto
winlogbeat.event_logs:
  - name: DNS Server
    ignore_older: 4h

logging.level: info
output.console:
  pretty: true

```

windows edition :- windows server 2016

Could you please let me know how to read DNS server logs from event viewer via winlogbeat.

Logs are coming but taking little time to push initial logs.
