Splunk ES - Troubleshooting Web Data Model

We have ES up and running and I'm starting to review the various Security Domains and relevant dashboards/reports.

For Security Domain -- Network -- Web Center there is a widget of 'Events Over Time By Status' that when I send to a search returns values other than HTTP status codes (200, 401, etc).

I do a pivot of the web data model and select 'status' and 'sourcetype' and I see the pan:threat sourcetype from our Palo Alto logs included with values that do not correspond to HTTP status codes.

Where would, or how would I go about excluding the pan:threat sourcetype from either the search, or from 'status' altogether?

The search is as follows:

| `tstats` count from datamodel=Web.Web where * by _time,Web.status span=10m 
| timechart minspan=10m useother=`useother` count by Web.status 
| `drop_dm_object_name("Web")`

I'm tempted to modify the CS to exclude the PAN events.

| `tstats` count from datamodel=Web.Web where NOT sourcetype=pan:threat by _time,Web.status span=10m 
| timechart minspan=10m useother=`useother` count by Web.status 
| `drop_dm_object_name("Web")`
