I am ingesting Windows Event Security login into Splunk using option “renderXml” and need to filter some EventCodes based on the Keywords.
For example my input stanza is like below

[WinEventLog://Security]
checkpointInterval = 5
current_only = 0
disabled = 0
start_from = oldest
blacklist1 = EventCode="4648" Keywords="0x8020000000000000"
blacklist2 = EventCode="4672" Keywords=0x8020000000000000
blacklist3 = EventCode="4904" Keywords="0x8020000000000000"
blacklist4 = EventCode="4905" Keywords="??8020000000000000"
renderXml = true

In my case following blacklist is working- but None of the other once are working. What am I missing

blacklist4 = EventCode="4905" Keywords="??8020000000000000" >>>>>Working

following Not working

blacklist1 = EventCode="4648" Keywords="0x8020000000000000" >>>>>Not Working
blacklist2 = EventCode="4672" Keywords=0x8020000000000000 >>>>>Not Working
blacklist3 = EventCode="4904" Keywords="0x8020000000000000" >>>>>Not Working
