## What it is
A collection of mindmaps (PDF/PNG/SVG) detailing the auditing capacities and event logs of Microsoft products including Windows, Windows Server roles, Active Directory, Exchange, and Azure. It serves as a reference for defenders to improve log collection and monitoring visibility.

## Use cases
- plan which Windows event logs to collect into a SIEM
- find Active Directory auditing event IDs for threat hunting
- investigate Exchange email forwarding rules in BEC attacks
- build a Windows Server role auditing baseline
- reference event logs during incident response and forensics

## When to choose
- you are a defender or SOC engineer mapping Microsoft log sources
- you need a visual reference of Windows/AD/Exchange auditing capabilities
- you are setting up log collection or threat hunting coverage for Microsoft environments

## When to avoid
- you need a tool that parses or analyzes EVTX files programmatically
- you want automated log collection rather than reference documentation
- you need auditing guidance for non-Microsoft platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, monitoring, security
- domain: security, windows, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: mindmap, event-logs, incident-response, threat-hunting, siem, active-directory, exchange, azure, forensics, evtx
