Hi
We are collecting the winevent logs in XML format since enabled ipv6 on the DC we are getting src_ip with included ipv6 and IP.
When I am trying to remove the ipv6 (::ffff:) from the src_ip and parse only IP address.

Neither of my props works.

[XmlWinEventLog]
SEDCMD-remove_ffff = s/(?ms)(.*IpAddress\'\>)(::ffff:)(.*)/\1\3/g

[XmlWinEventLog]
SEDCMD-ipaddresssed = s/(::ffff:)//g

My actual event.

they did all Windows TA App source definitions filed changes on WinEventLog:Security source name , and finally they renamed the source as XmlWinEventLog:Security may be that's the reason my confs are not working.
