I've yet to understand why is everyone using logstash for that as it is
only a proxy and can (?) be omitted altogether.

You have more options. In addition to using pm_pattern it might be worth
doing the filtering directly with the Exec directive, i.e. :
<Input eventlog>
Module im_msvistalog
Exec if ($EventID == 42) or ($EventID == 142) ... drop(); \
else if $Message =~ /DEBUG/ drop();
</Input>
Another option is to use Query XML/xpath filtering , see the Query
directive of the im_msvistalog module.

You forgot to include in your mail what the exact problem is that you are
having.

The type tag here defines the matching operation, so it is either REGEXP
or EXACT. You need the latter in this case.

Same as above.
