Hello!  
I'm using latest winlogbeat with ECS and its shipping security events in Elasticsearch. I've created a local user on Windows machine without password and get error, that password does not compline with local policies.  
In windows event viewer I see three events:

1. event\_id = 4720 - user created.
2. event\_id = 4729 - user was removed from a security-enabled global group.
3. event\_id = 4726 - user deleted.

If i create user correctly I have only one event with id 4720 and its fine.  
How can I filter out "wrong created" users using elasticsearch query?
