You will learn a lot about, Active Directory change auditing, Splunk, Windows Event Collection and more. I'll briefly show you how this same Splunk app can also analyze SharePoint, SQL Server and Exchange security activity produced by our LOGbinder product and mix all of that activity with AD changes and plot it on a single pane of glass. Then we'll start rendering some beautiful dashboards and drilling down into those events. Then we'll show you how in 5 minutes our free edition of Supercharger for Windows Event Collection can have your domain controllers efficiently forwarding just the relative trickle of relevant change events to Splunk. ![]() Plus, we made sure this app works whether you consume events directly from the Security log on each computer or via Windows Event Collection (which is what we recommend with the help of Supercharger).įor those of you new to Splunk, we'll quickly show you how to install Splunk Free and our Splunk App. So this works on old events already indexed and more importantly doesn't impact indexing.

Now, you knowledgeable Splunkers out there are probably wondering if we get these events by defining them at index time. (I feel like I should point out that my valued sponsors like LogRhythm, Quest, SolarWinds, EventTracker, Exabeam don't make this mistake.) That's what I'm talking about! Hey, executives may say that's just the weeds but you and I know that with security the devil is in the details. It's a trifecta of free tools that produces this: Not only is this application free, but with the help of our also to be announced free edition of Supercharger for Windows Event Collection, we will demonstrate the power of WEC's Xpath filtering to deliver just the relevant events to Splunk Free and stay within the 500Gb daily limit of Splunk Free's license. My team is in the finishing stages of developing a Splunk application that we are releasing at this webinar. But if for whatever reason you can't you still have AD and it still needs to be monitored.
