Blocking messages because license is exceeded (Sidewinder Firewall)

The message below is the events coming through on our SideWinder Firewalls (debug messages). I am trying to filter out these messages by t_debug because they are in 100% of these messages. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of how to get these events blocked.

  Nov  8 08:26:07 web.com Nov  8 08:26:06 iwalld auditd: date="Nov  8 13:26:06 2012 UTC",fac=f_acld,area=a_server,type=t_debug,pri=p_minor,pid=2978,ruid=0,euid=0,pgid=2978,logid=0,cmd=acld,domain=Acld,edomain=Acld,hostname=web.com,information="+|acld|DEBUG|MINOR|ACLD|SERVER=DNS unable to resolve 57.220.179.124: Unknown resolver error"

Within my transforms.conf i created a stanza to send the data to null queue:

[setnullSidewinderFirewall]
REGEX= type=t_debug
DEST_KEY = queue
FORMAT = nullQueue

Within my props.conf:

[SidewinderFirewall]
TRANSFORMS-null=setnullSidewinderFirewall

Thank you guys

The syntax looks basically correct, I'm wondering if the Regex isn't working correctly.

What happens when you set REGEX = t.debug ?

Also, I believe this requires a restart to take effect.

I have restarted splunk, and when i make that correction or change to the regex, it still does not stop the events from coming through.
