How to filter WMI event logs using blacklist, props or transforms in Splunk 6.* ?

Hello, everybody!

I have some question.
We collect WMI event log security. So sourcetype in splunk is "wmi:eventlog:security".
How I can filter events by EventCode=5145.

How I can use "blacklist" in inputs.conf? Or I must use props.conf and transform.conf? What stanza should I create them?

P.S. I have splunk 6.1.1.

Tanks.

In Splunk 6.2.3 release stanza should be [WinEventLog:Security] instead of [WMI:WinEventLog:Security]

For more for more details about the stanza settings in inputs.conf, please refer to Splunk Documentation:

Put this under the secuity log WMI stanza in inputs.conf:

blacklist = 5145

Should do the trick.
