I have an event id 4674 that I would like to block from being indexed. I have the following in my in inputs.conf in local not default.
[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = true
blacklist1 = EventCode = "4764" Message="*"
Do I need to add those lines to the props.conf as well? Where do I put that deny list at?
Use my example blacklist1 setting as a replacement for the one in the OP. Make sure the props.conf file is installed on the Windows UFs.
The input stanza is disabled so there should be no Security events coming in. If you're still getting them then it could be because: 1) the inputs.conf is not loaded on the right instance (UF); 2) the instance was not restarted after props.conf was modified; or 3) the event is not a Security event.
Also, try specifying the EventCode alone in the deny list.
blacklist1 = 4764
