NOTE: This feature assumes `description` field has following formats:
|
124
|
-
|
125
|
-
- group delimiter: `\r\n\r\n`
|
126
|
-
- record delimiter: `\r\n\t`
|
127
|
-
- field delimiter: `\t\t`
|
128
|
-
|
129
|
-
If your `description` doesn't follow this format, the parsed result is only `description_title` field with same `description` content.

**NOTE:** in_windows_eventlog2 always handles EventLog records as UTF-8 characters. Users don't have to specify encoding related parameters and they are not provided.
|
174
|
-
|
175
|
-
**NOTE:** When `Description` contains error message such as `The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table.`, eventlog's resource file (.mui) related to error generating event is something wrong. This issue is also occurred in built-in Windows Event Viewer which is the part of Windows management tool.
|
176
|
-
|
177
|
-
**NOTE:** When `render_as_xml` as `true`, `fluent-plugin-parser-winevt_xml` plugin should be needed to parse XML rendered Windows EventLog string.
|
178
|
-
|
179
|
-
**NOTE:** If you encountered CPU spike due to massively huge EventLog channel, `rate_limit` parameter may help you. Currently, this paramter can handle the multiples of 10 or -1(`Winevt::EventLog::Subscribe::RATE_INFINITE`).

**Motivation:** subscribe directive is designed for applying `read_existing_events` each of channels which is specified in subscribe section(s).
|
216
|
-
|
217
|
-
e.g) The previous configuration can handle `read_existing_events` but this parameter only specifies `read_existing_events` or not for channels which are specified in `channels`.
|
218
|
-
|
219
|
-
```aconf
|
220
|
-
channels ["Application", "Security", "HardwareEvents"]
|
221
|
-
read_existing_events true
|
222
|
-
```
|
223
|
-
|
224
|
-
is interpreted as "Application", "Security", and "HardwareEvents" should be read existing events.
|
225
|
-
|
226
|
-
But some users want to configure to:
|
227
|
-
|
228
|
-
* "Application" and "Security" channels just tailing
|
229
|
-
* "HardwareEvent" channel read existing events before launching Fluentd
|
230
|
-
|
231
|
-
With `<subscribe>` directive, this requirements can be represendted as:
|
232
|
-
|
233
|
-
```aconf
|
234
|
-
<subscribe>
|
235
|
-
|
236
|
-
# read_existing_events false
|
237
|
-
</subscribe>
|
238
|
-
<subscribe>
|
239
|
-
|
240
|
-
read_existing_events true
|
241
|
-
</subscribe>
|
242
|
-
```
|
243
|
-
|
244
|
-
This configuration can be handled as:
|
245
|
-
|
246
|
-
* "Application" and "Security" channels just tailing
|
247
|
-
* "HardwareEvent" channel read existing events before launching Fluentd
|
248
|
-
|
249
|
-
###### Remoting access
|
250
|
-
|
251
|
-
`<subscribe>` section supports remoting access parameters:
|
252
|
-
|
253
|
-
* `remote_server`
|
254
|
-
* `remote_domain`
|
255
|
-
* `remote_username`
|
256
|
-
* `remote_password`
|
257
|
-
|
258
|
-
These parameters are only in `<subscribe>` directive.
|
259
|
-
|
260
|
-
Note that before using this feature, remoting access users should belong to "Event Log Readers" group:
|
261
|
-
|
262
|
-
```console
|
263
|
-
> net localgroup "Event Log Readers" <domain\username> /add
|
264
|
-
```
|
265
|
-
|
266
|
-
And then, users also should set up their remote box's Firewall configuration:
|
267
|
-
|
268
|
-
```console
|
269
|
-
> netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Event Log Management" new enable=yes

|
+
**NOTE:** When `Description` contains error message such as `The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table.`, eventlog's resource file (.mui) related to error generating event is something wrong. This issue is also occurred in built-in Windows Event Viewer which is the part of Windows management tool.
|
176
|
+
|
177
|
+
**NOTE:** When `render_as_xml` as `true`, `fluent-plugin-parser-winevt_xml` plugin should be needed to parse XML rendered Windows EventLog string.
|
178
|
+
|
179
|
+
**NOTE:** If you encountered CPU spike due to massively huge EventLog channel, `rate_limit` parameter may help you. Currently, this paramter can handle the multiples of 10 or -1(`Winevt::EventLog::Subscribe::RATE_INFINITE`).

|`channels` | One or more of {'application', 'system', 'setup', 'security'}. If you want to read 'setup' or 'security' logs, you must launch fluentd with administrator privileges. |

**Motivation:** subscribe directive is designed for applying `read_existing_events` each of channels which is specified in subscribe section(s).
|
216
|
+
|
217
|
+
e.g) The previous configuration can handle `read_existing_events` but this parameter only specifies `read_existing_events` or not for channels which are specified in `channels`.
|
218
|
+
|
219
|
+
```aconf
|
220
|
+
channels ["Application", "Security", "HardwareEvents"]
|
221
|
+
read_existing_events true
|
222
|
+
```
|
223
|
+
|
224
|
+
is interpreted as "Application", "Security", and "HardwareEvents" should be read existing events.
|
225
|
+
|
226
|
+
But some users want to configure to:
|
227
|
+
|
228
|
+
* "Application" and "Security" channels just tailing
|
229
|
+
* "HardwareEvent" channel read existing events before launching Fluentd
|
230
|
+
|
231
|
+
With `<subscribe>` directive, this requirements can be represendted as:
|
232
|
+
|
233
|
+
```aconf
|
234
|
+
<subscribe>
|
235
|
+
channels ["Application", "Security"]
|
236
|
+
# read_existing_events false
|
237
|
+
</subscribe>
|
238
|
+
<subscribe>
|
239
|
+
channels ["HardwareEvent"]
|
240
|
+
read_existing_events true
|
241
|
+
</subscribe>
|
242
|
+
```
|
243
|
+
|
244
|
+
This configuration can be handled as:
|
245
|
+
|
246
|
+
* "Application" and "Security" channels just tailing
|
247
|
+
* "HardwareEvent" channel read existing events before launching Fluentd
|
248
|
+
|
249
|
+
###### Remoting access
|
250
|
+
|
251
|
+
`<subscribe>` section supports remoting access parameters:
|
252
|
+
|
253
|
+
* `remote_server`
|
254
|
+
* `remote_domain`
|
255
|
+
* `remote_username`
|
256
|
+
* `remote_password`
|
257
|
+
|
258
|
+
These parameters are only in `<subscribe>` directive.
|
259
|
+
|
260
|
+
Note that before using this feature, remoting access users should belong to "Event Log Readers" group:
|
261
|
+
|
262
|
+
```console
|
263
|
+
> net localgroup "Event Log Readers" <domain\username> /add
|
264
|
+
```
|
265
|
+
|
266
|
+
And then, users also should set up their remote box's Firewall configuration:
|
267
|
+
|
268
|
+
```console
|
269
|
+
> netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Event Log Management" new enable=yes
|
270
|
+
```
|
271
|
+
|
272
|
+
As a security best practices, remoting access account _should not be administrator account_.
|
273
|
+
|

##### Available keys
|
277
|
+
|
278
|

This plugin reads the following fields from Windows Event Log entries. Use the `keys` configuration option to select a subset. No other customization is allowed for now.

NOTE: This feature assumes `description` field has following formats:

376
|

|
377
|
+
- group delimiter: `\r\n\r\n`
|
378
|
+
- record delimiter: `\r\n\t`
|
379
|
+
- field delimiter: `\t\t`
|
380
|
+
|
381
|
+
If your `description` doesn't follow this format, the parsed result is only `description_title` field with same `description` content.
