Excluding alerts and events

If there are specific events and active alerts that are of no interest to you, you can exclude the events and active alerts from all pages and summaries on which events and alerts are displayed. Excluded events and alerts are still in the log but are hidden from all pages on which events and alerts are displayed, including log views and resource status.

About this task

Excluded events are hidden for all users, not just the user that set the configuration.

When you exclude an event that has an associated alert, that alert is also excluded.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to exclude alerts and events.

  1. From the XClarity Orchestrator menu bar, click Monitoring (Monitoring icon) > Alerts or Monitoring (Monitoring icon) > Events to display the Alerts or Events card.
  2. Select the alerts or events to be excluded, and click the Exclude icon (Exclude Events icon). The Exclude alerts or Exclude events dialog is displayed.
  3. Select one of the following options.
    • Exclude selected events from all devices. Excludes the selected events from all managed devices.
    • Exclude events only from devices in the scope of the instance selected. Excludes the selected events from managed devices to which the selected events apply.
  4. Click Save.

After you finish

When you exclude events, XClarity Orchestrator creates exclusion rules based on information that you provide.

  • View a list of exclusion rules and excluded events and alerts by clicking the Show View Exclusions icon (View Excluded Events icon) to display the Excluded alerts or Excluded events dialog. Click the Exclusion Rules tab to view the exclusion rules, or click the Excluded alerts or Excluded Events tab to view excluded alerts or events.
