Configuring the Alarm Masking Status

Scenario

If you do not want FusionInsight Manager to report specified alarms in the following scenarios, you can manually mask the alarms.

Some unimportant alarms and minor alarms need to be masked.
When a third-party product is integrated with MRS, some alarms of the product are duplicated with the alarms of MRS and need to be masked.
When the deployment environment is special, certain alarms may be falsely reported and need to be masked.

After an alarm is masked, new alarms with the same ID as the alarm are neither displayed on the Alarm page nor counted. The reported alarms are still displayed.

Procedure

Log in to FusionInsight Manager.
Choose O&M > Alarm > Masking Setting.
In the Masking Setting area, select the specified service or module.
Select an alarm from the alarm list.
