WinCollect: A second log source might get auto-detected when manually creating an MS Windows Security Event log source

Troubleshooting


Problem

The issue might happen when a new WinCollect agent is installed without creating a log source. If a Microsoft® Windows® Security Event Log log source was created manually, and deployed, the events from the Windows server might not be associated with the newly manually created log source. 

Symptom

If you manually create an MS Windows Security Event Log log source and deploy the log source, you might not see events being associated with this log source.
When examined, the events are going to an auto-detected log source, and you can see that there are two MS Windows Security Event Log log sources with the same Log Source Identifier.
