# Input plugin to collect Windows Event Log messages
[[inputs.win_eventlog]]
  ## Telegraf should have Administrator permissions to subscribe for some Windows Events channels
  ## (System log, for example)

  ## LCID (Locale ID) for event rendering
  ## 1033 to force English language
  ## 0 to use default Windows locale
  # locale = 0

  ## Name of eventlog, used only if xpath_query is empty
  ## Example: "Application"
  # eventlog_name = ""

  ## xpath_query can be in defined short form like "Event/System[EventID=999]"
  ## or you can form a XML Query. Refer to the Consuming Events article:
  ## https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wes/consuming-events
  ## XML query is the recommended form, because it is most flexible
  ## You can create or debug XML Query by creating Custom View in Windows Event Viewer
  ## and then copying resulting XML here

  ## System field names:
  ##   "Source", "EventID", "Version", "Level", "Task", "Opcode", "Keywords", "TimeCreated",
  ##   "EventRecordID", "ActivityID", "RelatedActivityID", "ProcessID", "ThreadID", "ProcessName",
  ##   "Channel", "Computer", "UserID", "UserName", "Message", "LevelText", "TaskText", "OpcodeText"

  ## In addition to System, Data fields can be unrolled from additional XML nodes in event.
  ## Human-readable representation of those nodes is formatted into event Message field,
  ## but XML is more machine-parsable

  # Process UserData XML to fields, if this node exists in Event XML
  process_userdata = true

  # Process EventData XML to fields, if this node exists in Event XML
  process_eventdata = true

  ## Separator character to use for unrolled XML Data field names
  separator = "_"

  ## Get only first line of Message field. For most events first line is usually more than enough
  only_first_line_of_message = true

  ## Parse timestamp from TimeCreated.SystemTime event field.
  ## Will default to current time of telegraf processing on parsing error or if set to false
  timestamp_from_event = true

  ## Fields to include as tags. Globbing supported ("Level*" for both "Level" and "LevelText")
  event_tags = ["Source", "EventID", "Level", "LevelText", "Task", "TaskText", "Opcode", "OpcodeText", "Keywords", "Channel", "Computer"]

  ## Default list of fields to send. All fields are sent by default. Globbing supported
  event_fields = ["*"]

  ## Fields to exclude. Also applied to data fields. Globbing supported
  exclude_fields = ["TimeCreated", "Binary", "Data_Address*"]

  ## Skip those tags or fields if their value is empty or equals to zero. Globbing supported
  exclude_empty = ["*ActivityID", "UserID"]
