Action Suppression

You can temporarily suppress a policy's automatic invocation of actions and alerts. You may want to do this while you are performing maintenance on or troubleshooting a component.

To view action suppression configurations created for an application:

  1. Click Alert & Respond > Actions.
  2. Select the desired component such as Applications, User Experience, Databases, or Servers.
  3. Click Action Suppression.
  4. (Optional) Select the Show configured timezone option to view the start and end time of each action suppression event according to the timezone that you have selected while creating the action suppression event.
    Note: If you deselect this option, you can only view the start and end time based on your browser time settings.
You can configure the entities that the action suppression affects for each object. Within the time period configured for the action suppression, no policy actions are invoked for health rule violation events that occur on the specified objects. You can disable the reporting of metrics for agents associated with the object for which actions are suppressed. This option can cause reported metrics to change without notice. If you see a sudden unexpected change in reported metrics for an object, review the action suppression configurations list to determine whether action suppression with reporting disabled is currently active for that object.
