Skip alerts for some Issue Types

[benrobinsonsonos]

In the case of noisy alerts, looking for a way to reduce the noise by excluding some event types from generating alerts (e.g. AWS_VPN_SINGLE_TUNNEL_NOTIFICATION,AWS_VPN_REDUNDANCY_LOSS).

Forked the repo and added an attempt at:

You can select certain event types from the CFN.

@jordanaroth I may have mislabeled this issue by using EventType, which in the context of AHA accepts the values "issue | accountNotification | scheduledChange". Within the AHA EventType, "issue" category, there are many noisy issues. This is about picking which ones to squelch, (e.g. AWS_VPN_SINGLE_TUNNEL_NOTIFICATION, AWS_DS_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE). **Nothing against AD Connector, just don't need to know about those issues.

@jordanaroth Can you elaborate on this? The noise from these VPN notifications prevent me from using AHA. I see that we can select AWSHealthEventType but that's not really the same. We want everything except the same as @benrobinsonsonos (AWS_VPN_SINGLE_TUNNEL_NOTIFICATION,AWS_VPN_REDUNDANCY_LOSS)
