Giscard,
There are a few ways how to do it depending upon what you prefer :
1. You can increase the ovevent.log size (assuming you did mean this log; man 
ovelmd)
2. You can modify the traps that they be not logged, displayed or both via 
xnmtrap
3. You can create a ruleset using Event Attributes or Trap Setting nodes,
e.g. Event Stream -> Trap Setting (Not equal to Specific 58916864) -> Trap 
Setting (Not equal to 58916865) -> Forward)
4. You can use filters to prevent the events from being just displayed

However, I think you will not achieve your goal by using ESE.automation. This 
file is read by actionsvr that executes
actions in rulesets (so use ESE.automation for performing actions). If you 
enter a ruleset in this file, you have to
recycle actionsvr.

Also, ovactiond has nothing to do with rulesets; this daemon executes automatic 
actions upon trapd's receiving an
event/trap (configured through xnmtrap and set in trapd.conf).

The ruleset name visible in the right-hand lower corner of the Event Display is 
the name of the ruleset being active in
the current workspace. If you create a new workspace, you can choose a ruleset 
that will then decide which events to
display. Your workspaces can be loaded automatically (if saved) after GUI 
startup if you modify
/usr/OV/app-defaults/Nvevents file accordingly.
To change the ruleset of the primary workspace you have to modify 
/usr/OV/app-defaults/Nvevents file as well.

You can read about workspaces etc. in Administrator's Guide. A valuable article 
on rulesets has been posted by James
Shanks. It should be available in the archive.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Vladimir.
