I'm new to log2timeline and plaso. I have a set of raw evtx files that I would like to run through log2timeline and then through plaso to export into CSV. 

Is it possible to run multiple evtx files into one plaso file? Let me share what I have tried:

1. log2timeline.exe --parsers "winevtx" test1.plaso Security.evtx

2. psort.exe -o l2tcsv -w test1.csv test1.plaso

I get an export that is difficult to read. What am I missing for it to parse out the username, host, event ID, and description field?

yes, put them in a directory and point log2timeline.exe to the
directory or multiple times run log2timeline.exe with the same plaso
file with different evtx files

psort supports multiple output formats, I opt to look for an output
format that closer matches your needs
