Is the free version missing the windows event logs i need for logoff/logon

I have watched all the videos many many times and it seems I am missing certain features in the event console. Is there just a canned dashboard or event view that you can specify windows event log #? I am collecting logs just fine, i am monitoring 158 hosts, 1052 services so I know my set up is working.

In this video if I follow along I dont have the same options as he does.

Hi @jayson091 ,

welcome to the forum!

First question: Are you on the same Checkmk version? The video is based on version 2.1

Also, log & event monitoring is the same across all editions.

What is different, however, is the stuff after 5:06 - in the Raw Edition, you don’t have the agent bakery, so you can’t just bake a new agent and update it. See sections 3 an4 of this article for info on how to proceed in the Raw vs the Enterprise: Monitoring agents -- Monitoring with Checkmk devices in a network

Hope this helps

I am on 2.2.0p9. It looks like I should be able to do what I need. We are going through an audit so we are trying to pick a new SIEM platform, the problem is the CJIS requirements pretty much tell us to stay away from cloud. I have tried them all and CheckMK seems to be the easiest for our mostly windows environment.

Elias, I figured it out what I needed. I went off this video once I had my event logs pulling in and just modified it to include Event ID 4625 which is what gets triggered on Windows DC when a user fails their log in.

If anyone needs help go here to 3:27 and follow that.

Awseome, I am glad you were able to figure it out!

Happy (Log) Monitoring!
