windows DHCP server logs to Sentinel

Does anyone know how to ingest Windows DHCP server logs to Sentinel ?

thanks
  • One way is to install the Microsoft Monitoring agent on the servers and then in Azure Sentinel go to Settings => Workspace settings => Advanced Settings => Data and in the Windows Event Logs, select any of the DHCP event logs you want to ingest

    Please check the article I wrote to ingest DHCP logs using the new AMA agent.

      johnnymonz93 hii johny tried your solution but for my customer they have stored logs into E drive and I am using a path like E/DHCP/DhcpSrvLog-*.log but the solution doesn't work in that case first I used path like

      E/DHCP/*.log but it took logs from different logs files but it stopped that too after a couple of minutes the agent is sending heartbeat to the Law any idea on the causes?

      I'm trying to consume Microsoft-Windows-Dhcp-Server/AuditLog but nothing is coming in, even though the dhcp audit file is populating

        hi, would this be for on prem servers or servers in azure. or both ? how does sentinel know which servers to pull data from ? or is it capturing dhcp events from anywhere? thanks
