TimberWinR is a native .NET implementation utilizing Microsoft's LogParser. This means no JVM/JRuby is required, and LogParser does all the heavy lifting. TimberWinR collects the data from LogParser and ships it to Logstash via Redis.

Configuration

TimberWinR reads a JSON configuration file, an example file is shown here:

{
"TimberWinR": {
    "Inputs": {
        "WindowsEvents": [
            {
                "source": "System,Application",
                "binaryFormat": "PRINT",
                "resolveSIDS": true
            }
        ]
    },
    "Outputs": {
        "Redis": [
            { 
                "host": [
                    "server1.host.com"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

This configuration collects Events from the Windows Event Logs (System, Application) and forwards them to Redis.
