Windows Event filtering on Heavy-Forwarder

splunkcol
Builder

I am ingesting 100 windows machines and the events that are affecting my license consumption the most are 5156,5157,5158, 4658,4663, 4656, 4690.

I don't really know if I should filter them or if I can get out some correlation event that is valuable.

I have already filtered the first 2 according to Splunk documentation.

But my client doesn't want me to filter the EventCode if not the "Application Name"

What I see differently is that "EventCode" is pasted and "Aplication Name" has a blank space and I don't know how I should put the regular expression if I want to filter only by "Aplication name"

 

for example
Application Name: \device\harddiskvolume2\windows\system32\svchost.exe

props.conf
[WinEventLog:Security] TRANSFORMS-wmi=wminull

transforms.conf
[wminull] REGEX=(?m)^EventCode=(592|593) DEST_KEY=queue FORMAT=nullQueue

I was able to achieve filtering like this

[wminull] REGEX=(svchost.exe) DEST_KEY=queue FORMAT=nullQueue

I was finally able to filter with this stanza
