# Event Processing Metrics
Winlogbeat exposes metrics under the [HTTP monitoring endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2989/reference/beats/winlogbeat/http-endpoint). These metrics are exposed under the `/inputs` path. They can be used to observe the event log processing activity of Winlogbeat.
