I can get you tons of docs if you’re still working on this lol. Right now I’m using the SQL plugin like this:
select @timestamp, event.code, winlog.event_data.TargetUserSid, winlog.event_data.SubjectUserName,winlog.event_data.SubjectUserSid,winlog.event_data.SubjectLogonId,winlog.event_data.TargetLogonId,winlog.event_data.SubjectDomainName,winlog.event_data.TargetDomainName,winlog.event_data.TokenElevationType,winlog.event_data.TargetUserName,winlog.event_data.ParentProcessName,winlog.event_data.NewProcessName,winlog.event_data.CommandLine,winlog.event_data.MandatoryLabel,winlog.event_data.ProcessId,winlog.event_data.NewProcessId
from winlogbeat-*
where event.code="4688" and @timestamp>"2023-02-23 18:53:55.000" and @timestamp < "2023-02-23 18:55:00.000"
order by @timestamp asc
This doesn’t return anything for me. If I remove the event.code
clause, it returns all events in that time range correctly. If I remove the time range, it returns 4688 events correctly. I’m not really a SQL pro or anything so it could just be me. event.code
is mapped as a number. The full mapping is pretty big but I can provide that as well.
