I get hundreds of thousands of scans, hack attempts, etc on my perimeter per day. MARS sees it all and stores this as incidents, events, etc. Should I be tuning MARS to drop these events since the vast majority show they are being blocked by the firewalls? Or should I just let MARS store them all. Any thoughts?

You can drop these events and store them to the DB. I would not recommend dropping them completly, the may be usefull in the event there is a breach.
