Windows Eventlog field suppression in 8.1.1

[adalbor]

I  just recently upgraded to 8.1.1 for our core Splunk infrastructure and our UF's.

I noticed in the release notes for 8.1.1 it lists:

Remove, suppress any field from Windows Eventlog via universal forwarder

Reduce noisy and unnecessary data from Windows Logs by filtering on any fields available at the source.

Currently we are using the blacklist option and a few regex's to accomplish our goal of filtering certain windows events at the UF level.  Does anyone know where the documentation is that relates to the above new feature? Just trying to figure out the proper usage\syntax in the hopes we can eliminate our blacklist regex's.

Thanks,

Andrew

I should of looked a little harder. Seems it was in the inputs.conf documentation
