Create a suppress condition from within the message browser
From within the message browser, you can create a new condition for
a message that suppresses future generation of the message. When
you select a message to create a suppress condition, as described
below, the system creates a policy condition that instructs the
agent to suppress generation of messages that match the selected
message's original event text.
In this way, you can control the type and number of messages
that appear in the message browser and can respond quickly to
message storms by suppressing messages generated from a particular
policy.
To create a suppress condition
From within the message browser, select the message for which
you want to create the suppress condition and right-click to open
the context menu.
Select PolicyCreate Suppress
Condition from the menu to open the appropriate policy editor,
which displays the New Rule dialog with the Condition
tab active and the generated default displayed. Accept the
defaults.
Select the Actions tab. The default setting for here for
suppress conditions is Do nothing: stop evaluation.
If you prefer, you can change the default to suppress the
message based on some criteria other than the message text. Provide
a description of the rule and specify its conditions.
Click OK. Your new rule will appear on the Rules
tab of the policy editor dialog box. Incoming messages matching the
criteria in this rule will be suppressed and will not appear in the
message browser.
NOTE:
Not all policy types offer the Create message suppression
menu option.because they do not have condition IDs. Scheduled
policy type is an example. For these policy types, the
Policy Edit Policy menu option opens the
appropriate policy editor to the specific policy that generated the
message.
Details on setting conditions for several specific policy types
can be found in help in this path:
