Hello,  
I created a Ingestion Rule to get the Windows Logs. But I would like to ingest only the “Windows Application Log” and not the “Windows Security Log” or “Windows System Log”.

I didn’t find any Attribute related to the “log.source” field.  
Which Attribute I have to use?

Thank you

Alberto

Hi, there should be the attribute **Log Source** with value **Windows Application Log**.
