One alternative could be to use MiNiFi to take logs from each Windows machine and forward them to NiFi for further processing/aggregation/whatever. > FetchEventViewer - NiFi should be able to consume Even Viewer (Windows Logs) > > > Key: NIFI-1502 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1502 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug >Reporter: Andre > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > While a lot of the use cases using NiFi orbit the IoT, Unix Cloud type > workloads, I suspect NiFi would be a great fit for data collections of > business critical platforms running Windows. > A good example of this type of workload would be ATMs running Windows 7 and > even run Windows XP, or collection of Event Log error events on Windows > platforms (including Azure). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)

However, Apache Metron ([with Nifi embedded|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Metron+Architecture]) doesn't run on Windows. (and it would be great to not have to install a dedicated windows server just for this purpose) So, I think (_as a user of Apache Metron_) that the "option B" should be also implemented (in a future release). Of course, I would be happy to help as I can on this feature. Could I open a new ticket for the "option B" ? > FetchEventViewer - NiFi should be able to consume Even Viewer (Windows Logs) > > > Key: NIFI-1502 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1502 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug >Reporter: Andre >Assignee: Bryan Rosander > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > While a lot of the use cases using NiFi orbit the IoT, Unix Cloud type > workloads, I suspect NiFi would be a great fit for data collections of > business critical platforms running Windows. > A good example of this type of workload would be ATMs running Windows 7 and > even run Windows XP, or collection of Event Log error events on Windows > platforms (including Azure). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
