Just a quick answer to this: "determining stuff that is *not*
interesting" should not mean that you completely get rid of it. Keep it
in the system and have it run through the correlation engine and all
those neat things, but don't look at them. 

You would basically use a filter to keep certain events from being shown
to you. Coming up with this filter (which can turn out to be massive)
is a matter of looking at events and figuring out, one by one, what their
root cause is. You will realize that there are many of them!
