Hi all


I have started working with Wazuh 3 days back. I was monitoring my Windows Active Directory infrastructure with ELK stack and winlogbeats to parse the events. I found WAZUH integration with ELK has more potential and features than ELK alone. I was looking for an event with Id : 4740 (domain account locked out) to generate alerts. Unfortunately the WAZUH does not decode all the required fields.


Please see the screens below. From the log with 4740 the most useful fields like account name and caller computer name is not parsed with the decoder, while winlogbeat is extracting the fields well.


Any hints to extract the computer name and account name fields?


Thanks in advance

Hi,

thank you for your feedback. Right now, we have windows decoders to extract some fields, we need to improve them to add the computer name, account name and other useful fields.

Anyway, we are planning to implement an "automatic decoder" to extract every field automatically without use xml decoders.

Thanks.
Regards.
