I am having difficulty filtering the Windows security logs. I have attempted to restrict the event IDs being sent but at the moment the entire security log is being indexed. Here is my currently deployed configuration. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Inputs.conf

[WinEventLog:Security]
disabled=0
evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1

index = security

[WinEventLog:rDirectory]
disabled=0

Props.conf

[source::WinEventLog:Security]
TRANSFORMS-set= setnull,setparsing,setparsing2

Transforms.conf

[setnull]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

[setparsing]
REGEX=(?m)^EventCode=
(530|531|532|533|534|535|536|537|529|560|566|624|626|627|628|629|630|631|632|633|634|635|636|637|638|639|640|641|642|643|644|645|646|647|648|649|650|651|652|653|654|655|656|657|658|659|660|661|662|663|664|665|666|667|668|669|670|671|675|676|681|684|685|686|687|688|689|690|691|692|693|694|695|696|697|4625|4648|4656|4662|4706|4707|4713|4720|4723|4724|4725|4726|4727|4728|4729|4730|4731|4732|4733|4734|4735|4737|4738|4739|4740|4754|4755|4756|4757|4758|4767|4768|4771|4776|4780|4781|4786|4787|4788|4789|4790|4791|5136|5137)
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue

[setparsing2]
REGEX=(?m)^Accesses=
(ListAccounts|DELETE|WRITE_DAC|WRITE_OWNER|WritePreferences|WriteAccount|SetPassword)
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = indexQueue
