Muting selected system alert events

Events can be muted on a per-alert object type or per-alert object basis by providing a list of event IDs or patterns which should be ignored. To configure the list of ignored patterns, create a new advanced tuning parameter with the following syntax:

events.response.<object type>.ignored = <patterns>
events.response.<object type>.ignored.<object instance> = <patterns>

Object Types

<object type> corresponds to the type of System Alert object. A list of the mechanisms and their types follows:

Mechanism	<type>
Event log	logdb
SNMP	snmp
Email	email
Remote Syslog	syslog

Note: Event Log refers to the default mechanism, which is used to populate the System Events that is seen on the Event Log page in the Local Management Interface and the System Events Log REST APIs.

Object Instances

<object instance> refers to the UUID of a specific alert object instance. This can be used to mute events for just a particular System Alert object instance rather than for all objects of a given type.

The <object instance> can be discovered by using the REST APIs. Refer to Manage: System Settings > System Settings > System Alerts > Event Log within the Web Services documentation.

Patterns

<patterns> are a list of space separated event IDs or patterns which should be ignored.

Each pattern can be either one of the following:

1. A literal event ID. For example, GLGPL1002I
2. A regular expression pattern. For example, (.*)I or GLG(.*)
