Interface discards on port channel via snmp

mx
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone. I am monitoring a 3064 Nexus chassis with SNMP, and I am always getting "interface discards in" on one of the port channels. However this is normal due to an ACL in place. When I look at PO1 it shows the discards:

 RX
    37188296587 unicast packets  15658390 multicast packets  4135451 broadcast packets
    37208090428 input packets  198650275947699 bytes
    22814881037 jumbo packets  0 storm suppression packets
    0 giants  0 input error  0 short frame  0 overrun   0 underrun
    0 watchdog  0 if down drop
    0 input with dribble  50955 input discard(includes ACL drops)
    0 Rx pause

This is my snmp config:

HOSTNAME# sho run | in snmp
ip access-list copp-system-acl-snmp
  10 permit udp any any eq snmp
  20 permit udp any any eq snmptrap
class-map type control-plane match-any copp-snmp
  match access-group name copp-system-acl-snmp
  class copp-snmp

Is there any way I can have snmp not report interface discards whenever an ACL is hit? The amount of alarms are driving me crazy.

Thank you!

Why not configure your monitoring server to ignore that MIB?

I have thought of that, but the monitoring server is out of our control, and they refuse to make any changes to it.
