An events filter rule prevents the status derived from observer jobs from generating
events in the system. You specify observers, providers and resource types to which the rule is
applied.
About this task
You define events filter rules to prevent the unnecessary proliferation of system events, for
example under testing conditions or any other scenarios where you do not require new events to be
created for specific observers, providers or resource types.
Procedure

rule (or Edit events filter rule) page, you define the name and
