Got to love the bots! You can turn of the logging for that policy item by unchecking the alarm box in the policy blocking mask for "Illegal HTTP status in response"

 

 

Policy -> Blocking -> Settings

 

 

As for not logging only for specific status/user-agent pairs, in 9.X, not that I can think of. 10 introduces some new logging functions, but I can't think of a function out of the box that would do that. Maybe some fun with the new versions of the logging profiles in the asm.

 

 

Hope it helps!
