Cortex XDR Pro - Forensics Addon - WEC

Hello dear community, 

If we choose to gather forensic artefacts from a WEC, which event logs will be forwarded? Only the one of the machine or all the collected logs from the forwarders?

Hello @RFeyertag 

Thanks for reaching out on LiveCommunity!

Forensics will only be able to collect logs and artifacts from the one machine.

If you want to collect  windows event logs from multiple forwarder then you have a option to activate "Windows Event Collector" applet through broker VM. The Windows Event Collector (WEC) runs on the Broker VM collecting event logs from Windows Servers, including Domain Controllers (DCs). The Windows Event Collector can be deployed in multiple setups, and can be connected directly to multiple event generators (DCs or Windows Servers) or routed using one or more Windows Event Collectors. Behind each Windows event collector there may be multiple generating sources.
