Rule to alert when a Windows server is not generating Security logs
One of our servers has an issue each week... it stops generating/logging messages to the Security log. It keeps generating Application logs, and they're collected, so the collector doesn't know there's a problem, and doesn't generate any 400029 messages.
Does anyone have a rule written to alert when Windows Security logs aren't received?
Sorry if this seems too easy for this board. I'd create the rule myself, but I really don't have an hour to spare right now.

I do not have a specific rule for this prepared, but I imagine it could be created with fairly easily and in a similar fashion to Multithread on the Device IP Observe for when a Security log comes in (use the event_source variable for this and filter for "Security") Decide on the delay time Observe for an absence of any more Security Log events after the specified delay time (use the "No events within X" threshold)
