Hi

I want to filter wineventlogs on universal forwarder with blacklist config. But It doesn't work as described in the document.

Why is this not working_?

 

 

 

[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled = 0
start_from = oldest
current_only = 0
evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1
checkpointInterval = 5
blacklist1 = EventCode="4662" Message="Object Type:(?!\s*groupPolicyContainer)"
blacklist2 = EventCode="566" Message="Object Type:(?!\s*groupPolicyContainer)"
renderXml=false
index=wineventlog
blacklist7 = EventCode="4624|4625|4634" User="\w+\$"

 

 

 

I just want to filter out usernames endswith $.

Happy splunking.

I wonder if the number needs to be sequential.  It shouldn't matter, but have you tried 

blacklist3 = EventCode="4624|4625|4634" User="\$$"
