WELA (Windows Event Log Analyzer, ゑ羅) is a tool for auditing Windows event log settings. Windows event logs are a vital source of information for Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) — WELA checks your audit policy and log file sizes against best-practice guidelines and real-world Sigma-rule detectability, and can apply the recommended settings for you.
Advanced audit policy can also use versioned WELA, Microsoft, CIS and ASD profiles for shared audit, plan and configure behavior. Profiles cover advanced audit policy only.
