Hi,

I have a WSUS server and I'm looking to forward its service logs to Splunk for monitoring and analysis. Could someone help me with the best approach for achieving this?

Specifically:

  1. What steps are required to configure WSUS to export or forward logs to Splunk?
  2. Is there any built-in functionality or tool in WSUS for sending logs to external platforms like Splunk?

Thanks for any guidance or suggestions!

    Be informed what WSUS is depricated. Not sure is there any point anymore to invest into WSUS for you :)

    Deprecated in terms of end of DEVELOPMENT, yes, but that doesn't mean DEAD or end of SERVICE. There is no change to WSUS in the near and long-term future (10+ years).
