NSCA filtering before sending notification

We have a SCOM server and are attempting to integrate to NagiosXI 5.6.10 , we're using the Nagios2scom as per this site http://www.mbaeker.de/2013/04/step-by-s ... connector/. However the SCOM admin is unable to filter anything using the processing.xml so we get everything and only using the p_scom service name. Is there any way to filter out the incoming passive alerts to exclude unwanted alerts from the Nagios side? Or tips on how to filter from the SCOM side using Nagios2scom?

Thanks

SCOM integration in Nagios XI is out of scope of Nagios support.

The passive check results should appear under the Unconfigured Objects. If you don't want to configure them (add hosts/services), you can just leave them in the Unconfigured Objects or delete them. If you were receiving way to many passive check results, removing the "unwanted" ones would be a tedious process, but this would be the only way to "filter" them in XI that I can think of. I can leave the post open in case someone has a better idea, and wants to chime in.
