Palo Alto Networks App for Splunk: In real time search, how to drop known false positives?

Hello all! So I've got some Palo Altos forwarding their syslogs over to my Splunk instance. I want to receive alerts on High and Critical findings. That works like a charm with the following parameters:

sourcetype="pan:threat" severity=high

Pretty simple. However, I'm getting a lot of traffic that I know to be false positives, and it is completely using up my disk space and making me hit up against the license max. Is there a way to drop certain events and not alert or log on them as they come in?

Here's some internal traffic that is known-good.

That is a perfect example of something I would just like Splunk to see and discard immediately.

Thanks in advance

Discard specific events and keep the rest

Since I think that "pan: log" is set, it is necessary to change the setting file of "Palo Alto Networks Add-on for Splunk".
