PatternDB not working as expected. Config errors?
jaredtully created
Hi there,
I'm having a little trouble trying to filter events with patterndb.xml
I'm sending logs to our SIEM but despite the corresponding event ID's missing from patterndb they are still getting pushed.
I think my configuration setup is over ruling the patterndb config.
Can you please review?
Thanks for your time.
