Dear Guys,


I've been reading thru the forum to find a solution for my problem.

Our domain produces about 15000 successful logon events /ID:540/ per day. Most of the logs are comming from 3-4 servers. I wish to filter any 540 events coming from these server, however I'm unable to do so.

One of GFI support guys suggested in the forum to create a noise filter and set the User field to the name of the server. Unfortunately this didn't produce the results.

Unfortunately the logs I'm getting has no proper info in any of the Fields that would allow me to create a nuice filter.

Any idea how this could be done?  Thank you!

Can you please Copy the Event in question in this thread? You are able to remove any confidential information from the event before posting it.

Also, can you please clarify what filter you have created within EventsManager?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

This is the eventlog entry i'm struggling with (bold is sanitized info):
------------------------------------------
Event Origin Details:
   Date:        7/30/2007
   Time:        9:58:00 PM
   Type:        Success Audit
   Username:    domain\user
   Computer:    servername
   Source:        Security
   Category:        Logon/Logoff
   Event ID:        540
   Internal Event ID:    794CE20F45
   Rule Name:    Successful Network Logon - during work hours
   In Work Hours:    Yes

Successful Network Logon:
   User Name:    username
   Domain:        domainname
   Logon ID:        (0x0,0x84DA83B)
   Logon Type:    3
   Logon Process:    NtLmSsp
   Authentication Package:    NTLM
   Workstation Name:    workstationname
   Logon GUID:    -
   Caller User Name:    -
   Caller Domain:    -
   Caller Logon ID:    -
   Caller Process ID: -
   Transited Services: -
   Source Network Address:    -
   Source Port:    -


----------------------------------------------------------------

I've created a new rule set group, moved it to the top of the groups and created a  noise rule, where the
  • Security log is selected
  • Conditions - Eventid 540, user: <name of the server$>, no event type selected
Despite the above rule, the successfull logon section is flooded with 540's from this server.

I'd be grateful for further assistance... thx

When you mean you created a new Noise Rule, does this mean that you created a new processing processing rule under the Noise Reduction Folder?

Within the computer profile that the machine is currently defined in, can you please ensure that the Noise Reduction Rule Set is set to a higher priority then the Security Rule Set. You can double check this in the following:

a) Configuration > Event Sources > Windows Event Logs
b) Process using these rule sets:

Keeping CRTL Press down + Upward Arrow button, set that the Noise reduction rule set is at highest priority

Thank you!

Dear Mark,


As I stated in my previous post:

quote:

moved it to the top of the groups and created a noise rule


So this rule is the very first one: top group and prio1 rule within the group.
