SIM hitting fiber switches filling up event logs with failed login attempts...
1. What is HP SIM trying to log on to the switches?
2. How can I stop if from trying to log on to the switches?
3. They don't care if the switches are being monitored, but they don't want SIM trying to access it.
I have the discovery set for once a week for the entire subnet range. x.x.x.3 - x.x.x.255.
If I have to exclude the IPs for all the switches and then delete them from the database, they won't be monitored, but shouldn't impact the switches anymore.
I don't know what HPSIM is trying to do with the switches, but it needs to stop trying to logon to them.

You'll need to exclude them from the discovery range and delete them.
You might want to consider either separating the switch management to a different VLAN or constraining them to an easily excluded part of the VLAN.

Re: SIM hitting fiber switches filling up event logs with failed login attempts...
Since it sees them, why does it keep trying to log into the switches? If I add the credentials for the switches in the global credientals, what exactly will HP SIM do when it has access to log on? Our switch guy doesn't want it messing anything up on the switches.
Is it safe to put the credientals for the switchs so HP SIM will get access???

It will not try and reconfigure the switch.
I just tried to answer the points you'd raised. On 1. It's trying to get as much info. as possible. For 2. & 3. if you don't want them monitored then remove them from the discovery range.
Other options available are to stop the discovery task and only run it as required.
Or change the global credentials not to try SSH.
