Hi,

I wanted to drop some specific syslog message and syslog client which should not be send to ELK. Below is the Logstash config file. we have tried but it is not working.  
So request if anyone can help me to get this work.

```auto
input {
    beats {
        port => "5044"
    }
}
filter {
    grok {
        match => { "message" => "%{SYSLOGLINE}"}
      }
    if ([message] !~ "Test Message") {
    drop { }
    }
}
output {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["192.168.0.105:9200"]
    }
}

```

Thanks
