Hi,
That is pretty simple, actually. You just need to create a rule (above the other rules, so that this rule will be executed first) in your ruleset, in which you configure the filters to catch all the syslog messages from the devices you don't want to see(via the syslog facility or the message itself), and then choose the "discard" action.
That way, all your unwanted messages are discarded before the other rules can process them.
