Disabling rules   

Hi,
I use EXBPA together with MOM2005. How can I disable certain rules?
In our organisation some modifed settings. we keep getting notifications.
Can I do this centrally, or do I need to go to all servers?

Hi Thomas,

If you want to disable certain rules for all servers (i.e. blanket 
suppression), then the best approach is to modify the MOM rule itself. ExBPA 
has two 'catch-all' MOM rules, one for Errors and one for Warnings. Modify 
the conditioning so that "Event ID doesn't match regular expression", then 
create a regular expression listing the event IDs that you don't want. E.g. 
"^(1564|1402|1329)$". This will suppress rules with event IDs 1564, 1402 and 
1329 from showing up in the MOM console.

Cheers,
