On the second question, what do you mean by EventIDs please?- ez12aNov 30, 2023Copper Contributor
What i'm seeing is that the logging on the managed machine of actions such as a file upload is unreliable. I can upload a file onto a Server 2019 machine and the file gets uploaded, but no event channel and eventID 4000 is generated on the managed machine.
If i upload a file on a different Server 2022 machine, the file uploads and i see the event channel and logs which I then forward to something like Splunk.
In any case, imo a better design choice would be to log such events on the WAC server itself in addition to the local logs on the client.
Also, can the logs on the managed server also include the computer name of the managed server? Currently, I'm forwarding the logs to something like Splunk for example, it is not easy to see what server the command was being run from or the source managed machine.
The information being forwarded from the managed server is like this, from source <insert WAC server>:{"file":"Upload","module":"msft.sme.file-explorer","userOnGateway":"contoso\username","gateway":"wac.contoso.com","userOnTarget":"contoso\username"}I dont have the hostname of the managed server in this event, so I cant tell where this was being run looking at this casually from Splunk
But then again if we log these on the WAC server i wont have to forward WAC logs from the thousands of managed clients. Instead i will forward from the wac servers themselves which seems way easier.
