Hi Legel Rebal,

Could you please clarify whether you're referring to:

1. Live Windows Event Log monitoring on a Windows endpoint, or
2. Analyzing an archived .evtx file that has already been collected?

If it's live monitoring, the recommended approach is to configure the Wazuh agent to monitor the Windows Event Log channels using eventchannel. For example:

<localfile>
 <location>Security</location>
 <log_format>eventchannel</log_format>
 </localfile>
 <localfile>
 <location>System</location>
 <log_format>eventchannel</log_format>
</localfile>
 <localfile>
 <location>Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational</location>
 <log_format>eventchannel</log_format>
</localfile>

If you're referring to an archived .evtx file, Wazuh cannot ingest the file directly. A possible approach is to convert the EVTX file into a supported format (such as JSON) using tools like Get-WinEvent, python-evtx, or evtx_dump, and then ingest the converted output into Wazuh. Depending on the output format, custom decoders and rules may be required for proper parsing.

If your use case is the second one, let us know more about your environment and workflow. We can help determine the best approach for ingesting and analyzing the archived events with Wazuh.
