Can Windows ADFS admin event logs be read as text?

We have logs as C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\ADFS 2.0\Admin.evtx and they reach Splunk as binary.

In props.confwe added -

[adfs:winevt:admin.evtx]
NO_BINARY_CHECK=true

However, we see them as binary code within Splunk.

Is it doable?

Regards,
Dan

sourcetype=adfs:winevt:admin.evtx
index=<index_name>

It worked perfectly fine. The customer also wants the ADFS debug data and I'm not sure if it's included already... any thoughts?

Not sure whether this is right - How to collect "Analytic and Debug logs" from windows event log

They mention there - AD FS 2.0 Tracing/Debug
