Hello Everyone...I have the below query and I want to evict transactions that starts with Message arrived but not ending with "ml-ok-to-commit[yes]". With keepevicted command, I am not getting the correct result.

Can someone please confirm where am i lacking ?

Looking at the documentation for the transaction command, it looks like your events might not be marked as "evicted" based on matching a "startswith" message.
