Adding or editing an Intelligent Event Suppression  relationship

Note

Intelligent Event Suppression relationships are supported only for users who are upgrading from versions of Infrastructure Management earlier than version 8.0. If you have installed Infrastructure Management for the first time, this functionality is not supported.

All relationships are defined in terms of monitor instances. Before attempting to establish any relationships, ensure that a monitor for each relevant element in your infrastructure has already been created.

 

Tip

Before you add Intelligent Event Suppression relationships, you must:

  1. Define a monitor for each element in your environment.
     To define any relationship between elements in your infrastructure, first define a monitor for each element, and then use the actual monitor to define the relationship. 
  2. Define groups for any set of related instances:
     For example, create groups for any pools of servers, applications, Web servers, and so on.
     Using a group to define a relationship makes it more practical to maintain relationships.

Intelligent Event Suppression relationships can be applied globally either or to a specific monitor or set of monitors that you specify.

You can create any of the following types of Intelligent Event Suppression relationships:

  • Global - The Intelligent Event Suppression relationship is applied to all monitors. 
  • Group, device, or monitor-based - The Intelligent Event Suppression relationship is applied to the monitors within a group or device, or to a specific monitor or monitors that you specify.

    Access the Add Intelligent Event Suppression Relationship dialog box and then follow the procedure appropriate for the type of Intelligent Event Suppression relationship that you want to create.
