Overview

This article provides a step-by-step process on configuring GFI EventsManager to stop an event from generating alerts.

Process

There are three methods in the GFI EventsManager Configuration to stop events from generating alerts:

• Change the classification of the event to a lower classification that is not configured to send alerts:
  1. In the GFI EventsManager Console, select Configuration > Event Processing Rules.
  2. Right-click the rule which archives the event in the Events Browser and select Properties.
  3. From the General tab, use the dropdown 'Classify the event as:' to change to a lower level of importance that is not configured to generate an alert.
• Assign processing rule to an existing action profile that does not send alerts:
  1. In the GFI EventsManager Console, select Configuration > Event Processing Rules.
  2. Right-click the rule you wish to edit and choose Properties.
  3. From the Actions tab, update 'Use the following actions profile' dropdown.
• Change the Default Classification Actions for the classification of the event:
  1. In the GFI EventsManager Console, select Configuration > Options.
  2. Select Default Classification Actions on the left.
  3. Click Edit Defaults.
  4. Select the classification you are modifying.
  5. Uncheck the box 'Send email alerts to'.

     Note: This is a global setting and will affect all events of this classification.
