Windows 10 Mouse/Touchscreen event log

Question

Unable to find Windows 10 Event Log for mouse/touch. Any log that indicates activity upon touching a computer that is always on has no logon screen, and the main application is always open. Similar to a kiosk.

Will be using Zabbix (Network Monitoring) to monitor the log file for activity(Modifications, or maybe Some text parse).

There will be no such event log out of the box. Imagine the number of events. You will need to write or find a program that logs such events for you in a smart way that exactly fits your needs. — ZorgoZ, May 10 '19 at 14:26

ended up writing my own python script for my needs.. I hope this helps someone else

from ctypes import windll, Structure, c_long, byref
import time

class POINT(Structure):
    _fields_ = [("x", c_long)]

while True:
    #Get x coordinate of cursor
    def queryCursorPosition1():
        pt = POINT()
        windll.user32.GetCursorPos(byref(pt))
        return { "x": pt.x}
    pos1 = queryCursorPosition1()

    #Get x coordinate of cursor a few seconds later
    time.sleep(1)
    def queryCursorPosition2():
        pt = POINT()
        windll.user32.GetCursorPos(byref(pt))
        return { "x": pt.x}
    pos2 = queryCursorPosition2()

    #Print movement 'detected' if x coord do not match past x coord
    if pos1 != pos2:
        print("Movement Detected")
        print(pos1)
        print(pos2)
        print("---")


        f= open("track.txt","w+")
        f.write("X1: %s X2: %s" % (pos1, pos2))
