Winlogbeat 7.0 not dropping events

Since the upgrade I have noticed winlogbeat is ingesting event ids other than specified in the config file. I also see some new fields are created like event.code and winlog.event_id, while the event_id is not showing after I've refreshed the winlogbeat index
I tried changing even_id to winlog.event_id and restarting winlogbeat but hasn't made a difference

# https://go.es.io/WinlogbeatConfig
winlogbeat.event_logs:
  #- name: Application
  #  ignore_older: 72h
  - name: Security
  #event_id: ...
  #  event_id: 4624,4625,4634,4648,4672,4768,4769,4778,4779,4932,4933,5058,5061,4740,6272,6273,6274,6275,6276,6277,6278,6279,6280

I've been playing with this all day and can't get it to work, even with just 4624 and 4625 I get nothing in the log, tcpdump shows no data being sent

If I use winlogbeat 6.7.1 everything seems to be okay

I tried again and breaking changes in 7.0 specify field has been renamed
event_id winlog.event_id

I have added the events in the processors section, hope this helps someone who's a beginner like me
