SmartEvent alerting on logs that don't match filter?

I have defined some events in SmartEvent to get alerted when IPS sees traffic that matches a protection that is still staged and not prevented. However, I am getting alerted on traffic that appears to have been prevented by the blade. That does not match what I put in the filter. Any insight on why the traffic is generating an event? I have attached a sample traffic and my defined event.

Are both of those IPS events generating alerts?
We would have to see the log card on both to comment further (mask sensitive data if required).

I believe just the correlated log is the one firing off the alert. It makes sense to me that the severity is 4 and the action is blank, so therefore it is NOT prevent. That would make it match the criteria that SmartEvent is looking for. If that's the case, I might have to filter out correlated logs.

That also makes sense to me as well.
