Hi,
All I am trying to use ossec as to monitor some important events in
our windows server environment.
The default decoder for windows events reads:
<decoder name="windows">
<type>windows</type>
<prematch>^WinEvtLog: </prematch>
<regex offset="after_prematch">^\.+: (\w+)\((\d+)\): (\.+): </regex>
<regex>(\.+): \.+: (\S+): </regex>
<order>status, id, extra_data, user, system_name</order>
<fts>name, location, user, system_name</fts>
</decoder>
When I use the log entry below with ossec-logtest, it states no
decoder matches.
Log:
2010 Mar 22 00:44:20 (SERVER01) 99.99.99.99->WinEvtLog WinEvtLog:
System: WARNING(9015): MetaFrame: (no user): no domain: SERVER01:

hour(s) remaining before this server stops accepting connections from

Logtest output:

**Phase 2: Completed decoding.
No decoder matched.
Some questions:
1. what is wrong with the log? should I create a custom decoder for
it?
2. provided we can solve the above... can i use the fields status, id
etc. in my rules?
Any hints or assistance that lead to my understanding this better wil
be greatly appreciated :)
