Description

Hi,

I just install openssh on a Windows Server 2016 and I can't find any log in ETW.
I try to add in sshd_config :

SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel DEBUG

Any idea ?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing ETW logging on Windows Server 2016 with the shown sshd_config settings, then inspect how Win32-OpenSSH emits authentication and debug logs. The issue is done when the cause of the absent ETW events is identified and the expected logging behavior or limitation is clearly established.
