I want to use the windows event log monitor to monitor windows updates by looking at the setup log. The extension works when configured to look at system, security or application logs however when configured for setup logs it throws an error.   The only thing i can find which may be the cause is this stackoverflow question which indicates that it won't work (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12663703/geteventlogs-returns-no-setup-event-log) with the setup log however the extension page explicitly says it does support setup logs (https://www.appdynamics.com/community/exchange/windows-event-log-monitor/).   Stack trace from extension log: 2019/10/15 23:43:30.728 Error ExtensionLoader :Failed to start extension WindowsEventLogMonitor System.InvalidOperationException: The event log 'Setup' on computer '.' does not exist.    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.OpenForRead(String currentMachineName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.get_EntryCount()    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.StartListening(String currentMachineName, String currentLogName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.StartRaisingEvents(String currentMachineName, String currentLogName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.set_EnableRaisingEvents(Boolean value)    at AppDynamics.Infrastructure.Extensions.WindowsEventLogMonitor.Execute()    at AppDynamics.Infrastructure.Framework.Extension.ExtensionContainer.Start()    at AppDynamics.Infrastructure.Framework.Extension.ExtensionLoader.StartExtensions()    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.OpenForRead(String currentMachineName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.get_EntryCount()    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.StartListening(String currentMachineName, String currentLogName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.StartRaisingEvents(String currentMachineName, String currentLogName)    at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.set_EnableRaisingEvents(Boolean value)    at AppDynamics.Infrastructure.Extensions.WindowsEventLogMonitor.Execute()    at AppDynamics.Infrastructure.Framework.Extension.ExtensionContainer.Start()    at AppDynamics.Infrastructure.Framework.Extension.ExtensionLoader.StartExtensions() ...
