There are duplicates in Path, watch out that you dont extract the same Path mutliple times.

 

 

Here are the duplicate extractions

Service

Path

 Description log/conf
CIS /var/log/messages CIS server logs log
DFS /var/log/messages DFS Logs log
Domain Services for Windows /var/log/messages For DSfW the keywords which are of importance are “xadsd”, “smbd”, and “winbind”. log
Domain Services for Windows /var/log/YaST2/y2log Logging done during YaST configuration and Installation of DSfW. log
LUM /var/log/messages Logging when namcd is running. This is the default location. It can also be configured to a different file by setting log-file-location in nam.conf and can change the level of logging by using log-level in nam.conf. log
LUM /var/log/YaST2/y2log* Logging when LUM is configured. log
