Hey everyone,

In trying to do some tuning to ignore overly noisy logs messages I dont 
care about I`m running into an issue and I`m hoping someone here can help 
me with this.

I have this log being generated I want to ignore:

2020 Jul 16 09:24:58 WinEvtLog: System: ERROR(36871): Schannel: SYSTEM: NT 
AUTHORITY: somerandomserver.public.mycorp.com: A fatal error occurred while 
creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10013

I created/added the following into local.rules:

<rule id="200010" level="0">
  <if_sid>18103</if_sid>
  <id>^36871$</id>
  <user>SYSTEM</user>
  <match>Schannel</match>
  <description>ignore schannel errors</description>
</rule>

When I then run the log through ossec-logtest I get the following showing 
it is matching at level 0

root@SEC02:/var/ossec/bin# ./ossec-logtest 
2020/07/16 13:26:52 ossec-testrule: INFO: Reading local decoder file.
2020/07/16 13:26:52 ossec-testrule: INFO: Started (pid: 74716).
ossec-testrule: Type one log per line.

2020 Jul 16 09:24:58 WinEvtLog: System: ERROR(36871): Schannel: SYSTEM: NT 
AUTHORITY: somerandomserver.public.mycorp.com: A fatal error occurred while 
creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10013.


**Phase 1: Completed pre-decoding.
       full event: '2020 Jul 16 09:24:58 WinEvtLog: System: ERROR(36871): 
Schannel: SYSTEM: NT AUTHORITY: somerandomserver.public.mycorp.com: A fatal 
error occurred while creating an SSL client credential. The internal error 
state is 10013.'
       hostname: 'SEC02'
       program_name: '(null)'
       log: '2020 Jul 16 09:24:58 WinEvtLog: System: ERROR(36871): 
Schannel: SYSTEM: NT AUTHORITY: somerandomserver.public.mycorp.com: A fatal 
error occurred while creating an SSL client credential. The internal error 
state is 10013.'

**Phase 2: Completed decoding.
       decoder: 'windows'
       status: 'ERROR'
       id: '36871'
       extra_data: 'Schannel'
       dstuser: 'SYSTEM'
       system_name: 'somerandomserver.public.mycorp.com'

**Phase 3: Completed filtering (rules).
       Rule id: '200010'
       Level: '0'
       Description: 'ignore schannel errors'

The log however is still being forwarded into my splunk server from OSSEC - 
any idea's on what I`m doing wrong and how to prevent these logs from being 
forwarded?

Also, I do have log_alert_level as 1 in ossec.conf:

  <alerts>
    <log_alert_level>1</log_alert_level>
    <email_alert_level>12</email_alert_level>  
  </alerts>

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks --
