How do I configure a forwarder to whitelist only Event Code 4624 and Logon Types 2 or 11?

I'm trying to edit inputs.conf in my forwarder to show ONLY Event 4624, with only Logon Type 2 or 11. I've seen many examples online of similar things, but nothing has worked for me so far. I understand I need to parse the Logon Type out of the Message field.

What would I have to add to this:

[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled=0
whitelist1 = EventCode="4624" Message="what's here?"

One of my coworkers may have come up with the answer:

whitelist1 = EventCode=4624 Message="Logon Type:\s+[2, 11]"
