Hi,

I have a requirement to blacklist all  computer accounts (ending with $) in Security Event Code 4769. So far I have created following filter in inputs.conf but it is not working.

 

 

[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = 0
renderXml = 1
source = XmlWinEventLog:Security
blacklist1 = EventCode="4769" Message="(?:<Data Name='ServiceName'>).+\$"

 

 

 I checked regex and it is working on regex builder App but filtering is not working. I am still receiving events with computer accounts.

I referred and tried out various splunk forum questions on the same but no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

@catchvjay You may try this  :
blacklist1 = EventCode="4769"  Message="Account Name:(\W+\w+$)"
