Initial release
Using this TA
Configuration: Install TA via GUI on all search heads, install
via your preferred method (manual or Deployment Server) on
forwarders running on Windows running Windows Defender.
Ensure that you have at least version 6.2.0 universal forwarders.
This is because of the Windows XML event log format.
