exclude some alarms from auto-operator processing in NAS probe

Products

Issue/Introduction

I have an auto-operator which executes a script or action on alarms which are coming in.

Is there a way to exclude certain alarms from being processed even if they match the auto-operator?

Environment

DX UIM - Any Version
NAS probe - Auto-Operator Profiles

Resolution

Within the NAS Auto-Operator definitions it is possible to exclude certain matching criteria by enabling the "Not" operator on that field.  The "Not" operator appears as a small square next to each field, and when it is "lit up" it acts as an exclusion.

For example, the following shows an Auto-Operator which automatically closes all alarms after 3 days, EXCEPT alarms from a robot called "MyRobot".
