Description: Event suppression is a technique used in monitoring systems to manage the number of alerts generated by recurring or less significant events. This process involves ignoring or filtering certain events that would otherwise overwhelm the operations team with constant notifications, potentially leading to alert fatigue. Event suppression allows administrators to focus on more critical and relevant issues, thereby improving monitoring efficiency. This technique is based on identifying patterns of events that do not require immediate attention or are a consequence of a known problem already in the process of resolution. By implementing event suppression, the visibility of truly important alerts is optimized, facilitating decision-making and task prioritization. Additionally, it contributes to a more manageable and less stressful work environment for IT teams, who can dedicate their time and resources to resolving incidents that genuinely impact system performance or user experience. In summary, event suppression is a key strategy in alert management that seeks to balance the workload of monitoring personnel and enhance operational effectiveness.
