Issue/Introduction

Can Suppressed Alarms be disbaled completely in Spectrum?

Environment

Release : 20.2.x

Component : SPCAEM - Events and Alarms

Resolution

Suppressed Alarms are generated when Spectrum's fault isolation algorithm is run. This cannot be turned off as it is part of the core functionality of the product. The only way to disable these Suppressed Alarms all together would be to have no connections for any devices, otherwise Fault Isolation will work as described in detail in the link below:
