Filtering by Suppression Group
5. To filter for groups according to their current state, click the
State
column heading.
This displays a drop-down box in which you can choose whether to list groups that are
currently:
l
Suppressing alarms
l
Not suppressing alarms
l
Disabled groups
l
Or a combination of these states
You can also use the
State
drop-down box to sort the group state in ascending or
descending order.
Enabling and disabling alarm suppression groups
Users with supervisor or higher privileges can use the Suppression Status display to override
the current enabled/disabled setting of a suppression group.
For example, an alarm suppression group may be currently configured to hide a specific
group of related alarms from the default, unfiltered view of the Alarm Summary. However,
there may be circumstances where (for troubleshooting purposes or other reasons) you might
want those alarms
not to be hidden
, and so you might want to temporarily disable that alarm
suppression group.
