Hi

we want to analyse how to use winlogbeat to monitor security as a replacement to splunk

at the moment we have numerous questions on how to migrate from splunk to elasticsearch

one question is how do we monitor the "record\_number" parameter for a sequential number OR how we monitor logs that have been dropped

thanks for any information you can provide

cheers

Chris

Every Beat can be monitored using X-Pack monitoring. See more: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/6.5/monitoring.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/6.5/monitoring.html)

Number of dropped events is reported by each Beat and it is visualized in Kibana.
