Windows universal forwarder with a static config for Sysmon logs

ng87
Path Finder

I was hoping if someone can help me. We are looking into deploying Sysmon and the Universal forwarder remotely in very specific circumstances ( suspicious activity on a host  or by a user etc etc ) . I am struggling on being able to get the universal forwarder setup remotely. Essentially i just need the universal forwarder to forward the sysmon event logs ( Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational ) but i need to be able to do this remotely via command line or script. 

 I came across a Splunk article about setting up the forwarder with a static config which seemed good but looking into the config options it doesnt seem to allow you to specify what logs to collect - it gives you option of the usual Security , System , Application etc but doesnt appear to support anything else unless im mistaken? 

Else anyone know if its possible to include a config file/parameters within the installer?
