James,

If you have the logall option set, then you should see all windows events (with 
event iDs) in the archive.log files

I use these as a resource to pass to ossec-logtest. The first portion is the 
ossec appended value info, so you need to strip that.

The Windows events begin with "WinEvtLog:" followed by the log source. (i.e. 
"Application:", "Security:" etc.)

Hope this helps.

Scott.
