Suppress Sensor ActionsΒΆ

You can suppress the configured Action for individual sensors or groups of sensors

If a sensor is faulty, or is generating frequent minor alarms for a known condition that cannot be addressed immediately, you can prevent it from generating further alarms. Suppressed sensors are still audited, and their status is reported in the Sensors list.

For more information about sensors and sensor groups, see Sensors Tab.

To use the command-line interface, see CLI Commands for Managing Sensors.
