REGEX in blacklist doesn't work as intended

Hello folks,

 

I encountered a problem when trying to filter events from WinEventLog and EventCode 4662.  When I use the next regex in a tester or in a SPL with a data set unfiltered, it works fine. But using it in a blacklist only allows a fraction of the messages when "Default Property Set" is in the first row after Properties.

 

blacklist9 = EventCode="4662" Message="(Tipo\sde\sobjeto:(?!\s*groupPolicyContainer))[\s\S]*(Propiedades:(?![\s\S]*Default Property Set))"

I tried some changes to the regex but I do not find a solution for this. Thanks for your time.

Have you tried using erex to help build your regex? It's a hidden gem, and extremely useful.
