Getting Data In

How do you filter custom events in Windows Security log using regular expression in blacklist?

Hello,

We have Splunk Enterprise 7.2 with Deployment Server role and Splunk Universal forwarder on a Windows SQL server.

The SQL server has custom event in Windows Security Log.

Below is a portion of the Event Message.

I need to create the blacklist entry in the inputs.conf file to filter out events where two patterns are match ing at the same time.

"class_type:LX" AND "server_principal_name:DOMAIN1\"
The second pattern is 3 lines below of the first pattern.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Joseph

It looks like the blacklist record below in the inputs.conf file is working for me:
blacklist = Message="(?si)(\bclass_type:LX.+(?=\bserver_principal_name:DOMAIN1.+))"
Any comments are welcome. I am not sure if this will be the best option.
Cheers.
Joseph
