After having a better look at what you're trying to do, Marc Norton

nullify your rule statement - you do shutdown quite a bit of alerting
this way. Suppression is too specific for what you want.

Your original 21 rules were better for what you're trying to do. I'd
be happy to poke at your config with you. Send it to me off list if
you want.
