Monitor adapter event deduplication

For redundancy, BMC Atrium Orchestrator provides the capability of accepting multiple copies of an event at one or more instances of a monitor adapter. Essentially, all the events are passed to one peer (adapter manager) that has an activity processor (CDP, HA-CDP, or AP but not LAP) in the grid.

The peer is determined by a hash algorithm that maintains a hash of each incoming monitor adapter event. If the hash already exists, indicating that the event has already been received, the event is rejected and no jobs are generated based on rules. Otherwise, the event is forwarded to the adapter manager to update the hash logic. This is referred to as event deduplication.
