Bryan Rosander commented on NIFI-1502:
--------------------------------------
I'm currently looking into this from 2 angles.
Using the Windows API and JNA, it should be possible to read the event log from
localhost or remotely if the host is set up properly.
Using a parser for the evtx file format which should allow parsing of log dumps
from Windows machines possibly using GetFiles pointed at %System32%\winevt\Logs

> FetchEventViewer - NiFi should be able to consume Even Viewer (Windows Logs)

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Andre
>
> While a lot of the use cases using NiFi orbit the IoT, Unix Cloud type
> workloads, I suspect NiFi would be a great fit for data collections of
> business critical platforms running Windows.
> A good example of this type of workload would be ATMs running Windows 7 and
> even run Windows XP, or collection of Event Log error events on Windows
> platforms (including Azure).
