Event Viewer: stop certain errors from listing?

Sometimes my servers event logs get spammed with redundant errors/warnings/informational messages that I'd really rather not take up 90% of my log. Is their a way to stop a particular error based on source/event from showing up in the first place?

Agreed, you cannot filter the logs for any purpose while they are actually being written to. Obviously you can change them after they have been saved.

You should find the root of the problem. If you are having issues then please feel free to post here.

Was getting multiple Perlflib errors (source Perflib | event 1023) related to unloaded/corrupted performance monitor libraries. In this case, removing the performance library reference in the registry to stopped the errors.

before:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SomeService\Performance]
"Library"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\MICROS~3\\SomeServicePMDLL.dll"

after:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SomeService\Performance]
"Library"="l"
