so Im trying to filter out a event code in my logstash conf file..

so I have the basic conf..

input {  
beats {  
port =\> ....  
type =\> "log"  
}  
}

to filter I put this  
filter {  
if [type] == "wineventlog" and [event\_id] == 33205 {  
drop { }  
}  
}

... this filter doesnt work and gives me errors?
