Sending Windows Event Logs to Graylog

Links & Downloads for the “Sending Windows Event Logs to Graylog” video.

Download Sysmon from here: Sysmon - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn
Download NXLog Community edition from here Download - Nxlog Community Edition

For the video tutorial I used the Sysmon Modular default+ version.

A popular alternative is from Swift On Security

To install Sysmon with the default+ version open up and elevated command prompt and run

sysmon.exe -accepteula -i sysmonconfig-with-filedelete.xml

The install NXLog using the default options. The replace C:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf with the one from my GitHub and update the IP address (and port if you changed defaults) to in that config to point at your Graylog instance.

Then restart the NXLog service.
