I agree about having HP doing the filtering.  What I envisioned was a
way to exclude certain messages from being displayed to the console
based on a substring (i.e., avoid displaying "/LOGON FOR: " if I
chose to).
 
I also like you notion of archiving just the console messages (I feel
a project coming on).
