Hey,

I am experiencing this issue as well, with May Update.

@NimrodMiz If your rule is set to report only, and you would no longer like to see the reported events, you could turn off reporting of the rule. 

If that is not the situation, please provide some additional details to the context of the situation in which this behavior is occurring, so we could make a more tailored recommendation. If you'd like detailed review of the logs in order to reach that end, then I would recommend that you reach out to Technical Support for assistance in review.
