whitelist windows event logs

The whitelist is not working for windows event logs. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'm trying to exclude event 4625 from blacklist1 because it is logged as information.

[WinEventLog://Security]
disabled=0
whitelist = EventCode="4625"
blacklist1 = Type = "(Information)"
blacklist2 = Type = "(Security Audit Success)"
blacklist3 = EventCode="36888"

If you are trying to exclude the event 4625, then you should not use whitelist.
Whitelist will include the following pattern.

Comments from documentation - https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.5/Admin/Inputsconf#Event_Log_whitelist_and_blacklis...
" * Example:
whitelist = EventCode=%^200$% User=%jrodman%
Include events only if they have EventCode 200 and relate to User jrodman
"
Just try to use Blacklist if you want to drop EventCode 4625.
Maybe try
blacklist1 = EventCode="4625"
or
blacklist1 = EventCode="4625" Type = "(Information)"

I looked at this documentation and others. Ran various btool options, I have no errors reported with btool check, and regex-validate. The debug output seems pretty clean also.
