Looks to me like that article goes to great lengths to tell us about these events without mentioning how the f we turn them on....

We need to update the articles, as we very recently changed the flags on Windows (some features used to get automatically enabled causing confusion to users)

As a general rule, everything should be explicitly enabled; if something is currently being enabled automatically then it's a bug

To enable an evented table you usually
1. enable events: disable_events=false
2. enable an event publisher (example: enable_audit=true)
3. enable one or more subscribers (a subscriber populates a table) example: enable_audit_process_events=true

i am not currently at the computer, but lookinh at the osqueryd.exe --help output, it should list the required cmdline flags

could be something similar to
disable_events=false enable_ntfs_journal_events=true

Is there a list of event publishers somewhere?
