Well, I don't think there's anything you can do to prevent an event being created, but you can use the count filter in the alerting rules to only alert on an event that has a count of 3 or greater for instance...
So if you're watching the Web GUI, you'll see the event, but you won't get an e-mail until the count is reached. I recall a forum thread where they were trying to get out the count to do an event transform, and that might be able to suppress the event from being shown in the console - the problem was, I recall there was no way in the current versions to get count out of an event. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University nixinfo wrote, On 1/14/2009 6:17 AM: > Hello, > > Is there a way to set soft and hard states in Zenoss just like Nagios?
