How to edit my WinRegMon configuration to filter out certain Windows registry events?

Hello!

I need some help filtering Windows registry events in Splunk. Here is my inputs.conf file

[WinRegMon://default]
disabled = 0
hive = .*
proc = .(?!symantec|google)([a-z0-9*]+)$
type = rename|set|delete|create
index = windows

As you can see in proc, I am trying to remove all entries which have the word sDymantec and google, but I have had no success.

Could anyone provide a way they are doing this or a suggestion?

Thank you!

I've been working on an issue where I need to be able to filter out a registry entry as well, but this solution doesn't get me there.   I need to filter out the languagelist entry, just can't get the regex to work. Anyone else have success filtering reg entries?

I need to filter out this entry.
