I do not think you can suppress the [error](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-codec-cef/blob/2a8edcd5095e811cebfb5d48134eeb32de267067/lib/logstash/codecs/cef.rb#L335), but if you can determine which messages are in cef format you can [route them to a different pipeline](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-configuration-input-error-with-if-statement/246019/8) and use the codec on that.
