If you're using SANM to simply filter out the cause codes you don't want, that should work fine. However I would caution that, if you're looking at the cause count (0x12a07) in your notifier scripts to determine if the alarm is a symptom or root cause, this will not work consistently. There is a race condition in the SpectroServer between the threads that mark alarms as symptoms and the threads that hand alarms to Alarm Notifier, which means that symptoms may not be marked as such when your Notifier script is called. CA has accepted this as an issue with an expected fix in 9.5.

Someone off-list put me on the right path (SANM) and that works perfectly.
