# Windows XML Event Log (EVTX) parser

Available in AxoSyslog version 4.5 and later.

The new `windows-eventlog-xml-parser()` can parse messages in the Windows XML Event Log (EVTX) format.

Example configuration:
```
 
    parser p_win {
        windows-eventlog-xml-parser(prefix(".winlog."));
    };
    
```

The `windows-eventlog-xml-parser()` parser has the same parameters are the same as the [`xml()` parser](../../docs/axosyslog-core/chapter-parsers/xml-parser/xml-parser-options/index.md).

Don’t forget to include the parsers in a log statement to actually use it:
```
 
    log {
        source(s_local);
        parser(windows-eventlog-xml-parser(prefix(".winlog.")));
        destination(d_local);
    };
    
```
