winlog output as xml (Render_Event_As_XML)

[leowinterde]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The winevtlog input module has the option Render_Event_As_XML which works fine, but only on Windows Server 2019 and newer. Unfortunately, I also have to collect logs from Windows Server 2016. There is only the old winlog input module, which does not support any XML output, is it possible to add xml output? I would be delighted.

Describe the solution you'd like Use the option Render_Event_As_XML on the 'old' winlog input.

Would another option be to have a lua (or similar) filter trigger on those platforms and do the xml formatting you need?

Sure, that would work, but then I would have to cover every edge case inside the old windows version logs.
