Suppressing Problem Attributes
To stop known problems from propagating up and causing higher level object icons to indicate problem conditions
within, you can choose to suppress a particular problem attribute. Problem attributes are those displaying yellow or
red flags next to the attribute name.
To suppress a problem attribute:
Right-click a problem attribute in either the Attributes tab or Attributes dialog box and select Suppress.
To undo the attribute suppression, select Unsuppress.
While you cannot suppress a Service State attribute value, you can suppress the alarm that is causing the Service
State attribute value to be degraded. See Suppressing Alarms. Once the alarm is suppressed, the Service State
attribute value changes to Problem Acknowledged.
