Managing the Alarm Whitelist

You can configure the alarm whitelist to reduce false alarms. Events can be deleted from the whitelist.

Whitelisted events will not trigger alarms.

On the Alarms page, you can add falsely reported alarms to the alarm whitelist. After an alarm is added to the whitelist, HSS will not generate alarms on it.

Adding Events to the Alarm Whitelist

When handling an alarm event, you can select Add it to alarm whitelist. For details, see Handling Server Alarms.
