Ah, I remember what you're talking about now

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+12+ManagerAction_Events

That's the link to the Asterisk 12 AMI docs, the specs changed in 12 and
some events are different but it's the best docs available for the AMI in
my opinion - the specs didn't change much at all.

So in answer to your question, using EventMask, I don't think this is
possible as EventMask only works with those blocks of permissions, like
call and security. If you wanted to only get the one event type then you'd
need to do that in manager.conf - I may be wrong on that, I haven't looked
at the source code or anything but from what the docs say, and the docs are
generated from the source code now, you can only specifiy those larger
blocks,

Hope I've helped,

Dan
