Messagegtw probe - creates an event on every alarm

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

After setting up the messagegtw probe (creating a queue and NAS AO webhook), I am unable to filter alarms that are to be sent to an external system. Every alarm in queue seems to be forwarded. Is there a method to control what is being forwarded through the messagegtw probe?

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM - MESSAGEGTW

Cause

This is working as designed.

Unlike other gateway probes, messagegtw sends an event on every alarm and does not suppress like other gateway probes.
example: In uim the nas probe only shows 1 alarm with the count increasing on every alarm for the same event. Spectrumgtw, sdgtw only get the case count increasing and do not get new events. Messagegtw sends an event on every alarm which can cause thousands of unwanted alerts being created.
