Date

Monday, 26 May 2014

Summary

Customer may want to exclude some Rules for Argent SuperMaps

He can do so at definition of Argent SuperMaps

But up to Argent AT 3.1A-1404-A, the Excluded Rules was Global that apply to all Argent SuperMaps

It prevents customer from customizing individual Argent SuperMap

In the meantime, Global Excluded Rules are also valuable for some situations

For example, customer may set up a heartbeat Rule checking system uptime always greater than a day, and running the Rule against each vital server once a day

If Customer receives an Email Alert for the server, it means the server has been up in past 24 hours

Though the Rule is broken, it is not an abnormal condition

Though he expects to see the Email Alert, he does not want the Event shows up as a red dot on Argent Console A1X screens

To accomplish this, customer can use Global Excluded Rules to exclude such a Rule

Argent AT 3.1A-1404-T3 addresses the issue by supporting both scenarios

Technical Background

The issue has been addressed in Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1404-T3
