How to remove unwanted Events from Axiom Monitored Event List

Solution

Please perform the steps below:

Log in as Administrator > Click on Monitor Tab > Event Notification > Double Click on Name > Monitored Events on Right Hand Window Pane

Then remove the event in question from Monitored Events [right hand pane] to the Events Not Monitored [left hand pane].

If you encounter unable to complete the task due to an error from a slammer software component and the removal of the event subsequently fails, then the problem is that the Axiom has exceeded the 300 limit of Event ID filters held by the System Configuration Database.

NOTES:

• If you monitor all events in a severity/category combination, then there are ZERO entries in the idFilterCount list, it just monitors the entire severity or category.
• If you remove ONE event from monitoring in a severity/category combination, then every other event is explicitly converted to a monitored event in the System Configuration Database and each of those remaining events then become an entry that contributes to the idFilterCount. 
• The worst case scenario is trying to remove of ONE event, as that converts all the remaining events in that Severity/Category into explicitly monitored events. The resolution is to remove more events from Monitored Events to drop the idFilterCount to below 300, where NAS events can safely be removed since R5 does not support NAS
• There are not enough events in the Critical and Warning severity levels to exceed the idFilterCount of 300. However the Informational severity level can. 

axiomcli event_notification -list provides a list of the notifications.
axiomcli event_notification -list -details provides a detailed list of the notifications AND the events being monitored, where if any event in any Severity/Category has been excluded, there will be an EventType listed.

e.g.

EventType : SAN_EVENT_ISNS_SERVER_DISCOVERY_ERROR
EventType : PCP_EVT_COLD_START_FAILED

If there are roughly 300 or more EventType entries for a SINGLE notification entry, the modify request will also fail.

Go to the Modify Event Notification screen and collapsing all of the categories on the Monitored Events panel [right side], so only Critical, Warning, and Informational are displayed.
Then, select "Informational" and the arrow to move it back to the left "Events Not Monitored" side and save. That should create an idFilterCount of roughly 124.
Then, go to the Critical and Warning categories on the Monitored Events and just remove all NAS related events, and save that.
Then, you can select the Informational category again for monitoring and remove all of the NAS related events from that list as well.

The complete list of EventType for NAS is [all tape events are NAS only]
