Hey Dale,

Filtering in NXLog is relatively straight forward. With Windows Event Log sources you have a couple options.

The NXLog way can be described in general here:
https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/filtering.html

More detail on filtering Event Log specifically can be found here:
https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/eventlog-filtering.html

This will show filtering within the XML Query as well as using the Exec Block to filter out events. Both ways work.
