Context: I have been giving my homelab some love, I am upgrading my Proxmox box that is currently a humble i5 with 16GB running OPNSense, 2x Pi-Hole + Unbound (primary and secondary) and WireGuard VPN with an i7 32GB and better NVMe/bigger storage box.
I am also getting into VLAN, locking IoT which are already locked with firewall and having a local hosted list feeding a dynamic firewall rules based on my devices and network tools so basically declared war with my devices so I need more hardware.

Phew...

Now, in my opinion logs should not be full of non-necessary noise like hundreds of:

QuoteDefault deny / state violation rule   
let out anything from firewall host itself   
Block bogon IPv4 networks from WAN   
let out anything from firewall host itself (force gw)   
let out anything from firewall host itself (force gw)   
let out anything from firewall host itself (force gw)   
let out anything from firewall host itself (force gw)   
let out anything from firewall host itself (force gw)   
let out anything from firewall host itself (force gw)   


How do I disable those logs?
I cannot from the GUI because I believe they are default rules.

As I an keeping a closer look into my devices like my laptop dropping my home network twice because Brave browser has a built-in mDNS flooding my DNS and taking the whole network down with it, twice, the last thing you need is a lot data that provides no value.
Looking all the events from people scanning my WAN for vulnerabilities won't help any anxiety either haha

So I would like to keep the firewall logs logging only the data that really matters to me.

Thank you
