editThe following reference file is available with your Winlogbeat installation. It
shows all non-deprecated Winlogbeat options. You can copy from this file and paste
configurations into the winlogbeat.yml
file to customize it.
The reference file is located in the same directory as the
winlogbeat.yml
file. To locate the file, see Directory layout.
The contents of the file are included here for your convenience.
###################### Winlogbeat Configuration Example ######################## # This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common # options. The winlogbeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains # all the supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference. # # You can find the full configuration reference here: # https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/index.html # ======================== Winlogbeat specific options ========================= # The registry file is where Winlogbeat persists its state so that the beat can # resume after shutdown or an outage. The default is .winlogbeat.yml in the # directory in which it was started. #winlogbeat.registry_file: .winlogbeat.yml # The timeout value that controls when registry entries are written to disk # (flushed). When an unwritten update exceeds this value, it triggers a write # to disk. When flush is set to 0s, the registry is written to disk after each # batch of events has been published successfully. The default value is 5s. #winlogbeat.registry_flush: 5s # By default Ingest pipelines are not updated if a pipeline with the same ID # already exists. If this option is enabled Winlogbeat overwrites pipelines # every time a new Elasticsearch connection is established. #winlogbeat.overwrite_pipelines: false # event_logs specifies a list of event logs to monitor as well as any # accompanying options. The YAML data type of event_logs is a list of # dictionaries. # # The supported keys are name, id, xml_query, tags, fields, fields_under_root, # forwarded, ignore_older, level, event_id, provider, and include_xml. # The xml_query key requires an id and must not be used with the name, # ignore_older, level, event_id, or provider keys. Please visit the # documentation for the complete details of each option. # https://go.es.io/WinlogbeatConfig winlogbeat.event_logs: - name: Application ignore_older: 72h - name: System - name: Security - name: ForwardedEvents tags: [forwarded] - name: Windows PowerShell event_id: 400, 403, 600, 800 - name: Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational event_id: 4103, 4104, 4105, 4106 # ================================== General =================================== # The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group # all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface. # If this options is not defined, the hostname is used. #name: # The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each # transaction published. Tags make it easy to group servers by different # logical properties. #tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"] # Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the # output. Fields can be scalar values, arrays, dictionaries, or any nested # combination of these. #fields: # env: staging # If this option is set to true, the custom fields are stored as top-level # fields in the output document instead of being grouped under a fields # sub-dictionary. Default is false. #fields_under_root: false # Internal queue configuration for buffering events to be published. #queue: # Queue type by name (default 'mem') # The memory queue will present all available events (up to the outputs # bulk_max_size) to the output, the moment the output is ready to server # another batch of events. #mem: # Max number of events the queue can buffer. #events: 4096 # Hints the minimum number of events stored in the queue, # before providing a batch of events to the outputs. # The default value is set to 2048. # A value of 0 ensures events are immediately available # to be sent to the outputs. #flush.min_events: 2048 # Maximum duration after which events are available to the outputs, # if the number of events stored in the queue is < `flush.min_events`. #flush.timeout: 1s # The disk queue stores incoming events on disk until the output is # ready for them. This allows a higher event limit than the memory-only # queue and lets pending events persist through a restart. #disk: # The directory path to store the queue's data. #path: "${path.data}/diskqueue" # The maximum space the queue should occupy on disk. Depending on # input settings, events that exceed this limit are delayed or discarded. #max_size: 10GB # The maximum size of a single queue data file. Data in the queue is # stored in smaller segments that are deleted after all their events # have been processed. #segment_size: 1GB # The number of events to read from disk to memory while waiting for # the output to request them. #read_ahead: 512 # The number of events to accept from inputs while waiting for them # to be written to disk. If event data arrives faster than it # can be written to disk, this setting prevents it from overflowing # main memory. #write_ahead: 2048 # The duration to wait before retrying when the queue encounters a disk # write error. #retry_interval: 1s # The maximum length of time to wait before retrying on a disk write # error. If the queue encounters repeated errors, it will double the # length of its retry interval each time, up to this maximum. #max_retry_interval: 30s # Sets the maximum number of CPUs that can be executing simultaneously. The # default is the number of logical CPUs available in the system. #max_procs: # ================================= Processors ================================= # Processors are used to reduce the number of fields in the exported event or to # enhance the event with external metadata. This section defines a list of # processors that are applied one by one and the first one receives the initial # event: # # event -> filter1 -> event1 -> filter2 ->event2 ... # # The supported processors are drop_fields, drop_event, include_fields, # decode_json_fields, and add_cloud_metadata. # # For example, you can use the following processors to keep the fields that # contain CPU load percentages, but remove the fields that contain CPU ticks # values: # #processors: # - include_fields: # fields: ["cpu"] # - drop_fields: # fields: ["cpu.user", "cpu.system"] # # The following example drops the events that have the HTTP response code 200: # #processors: # - drop_event: # when: # equals: # http.code: 200 # # The following example renames the field a to b: # #processors: # - rename: # fields: # - from: "a" # to: "b" # # The following example tokenizes the string into fields: # #processors: # - dissect: # tokenizer: "%{key1} - %{key2}" # field: "message" # target_prefix: "dissect" # # The following example enriches each event with metadata from the cloud # provider about the host machine.
