Hi Jesus!
Long time - and dated converation :)
Ran into this again today as I wanted to query for multiple events on
another host. First off, seems like I'm not able to use Eventchannel on
this particular 2012r2 host (2019/06/27 15:30:57 ossec-logcollector: ERROR:
Could not EvtSubscribe() for (Security) which returned (15001)). Switched
back to Eventlog and used query below. It works, kind of ;) but also
include other EventID (4798 being one example).
- Any ideas as to why I see other EventIDs from the ones listed below?
- I'm guessing I will have to write custom decoders for the eventID
(below) that are sent from the agent as they seem different from for
example a Snare agent?
Anyway, mostly wanted to contribute to an old post if anyone end up reading
it :)
Best regards,
Fredrik
