To capture event logs from Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational
using the Elastic Agent, you can configure the Elastic Agent to collect Windows event logs and forward them to an Elasticsearch cluster. Here's an overview of the steps involved:
Set up an Elasticsearch Cluster:
- Install and configure an Elasticsearch cluster to store and index the event logs.
- Ensure that the Elasticsearch cluster is accessible from the machine where the Elastic Agent will be installed.
Install and Configure the Elastic Agent:
- Download and install the Elastic Agent on the machine where you want to capture the event logs.
- During the Elastic Agent installation, specify the connection details for your Elasticsearch cluster.
Configure Event Log Collection:
- Open the Elastic Agent configuration file (elastic-agent.yml) located in the Elastic Agent installation directory.

:yamlmetricbeat.modules:
- module: windows
eventlogs:
- name: Application
- name: Security
- name: System
- name: Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational
enabled: true
Start the Elastic Agent:
- Start the Elastic Agent service or execute the appropriate command to start the agent.
- The Elastic Agent will begin collecting event logs from the specified sources, including
Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational
.
Verify Event Log Indexing:
- Monitor the Elasticsearch cluster to ensure that the event logs from
Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational
are being indexed. - You can use Kibana or the Elasticsearch REST API to search and visualize the captured event logs.
- Monitor the Elasticsearch cluster to ensure that the event logs from
By following these steps, you can configure the Elastic Agent to capture event logs from Microsoft-Windows-NetworkProfile/Operational
and index them in an Elasticsearch cluster. Adjust the configuration as needed to meet your specific requirements and ensure that the Elastic Agent is properly connected to the Elasticsearch cluster.
