Types of Collector Events BDS and PLF Do Not
Suppress
Many of the events generated by an EMS collector are not suppressed by either the
BDS or pre-log filtration (PLF) facilities. These events concern the state and behavior
of the collector. These events are not suppressed for one or more of these reasons:

The event is crucial to the EMS architecture; for example, a file switch event that
each log file must have as the first record in the file.

Suppression of the event serves no purpose; for example, burst events. If BDS is
enabled, you would want to see burst events.

The event signifies a serious collector error; for example, an alternate collector
shutdown.

The event only occurs once or very infrequently; for example, a system load event.

The event might be important to the operator; for example, a message discard
event.
Note. EMS distributors do not exempt any of these events from suppression.
