Disable

If a collection is failing, but you don't care about the collection and don't want it to affect the color of the computer's application icon on the Manage Monitoring page, you can disable the collection. If the collection is marked as optional in the collection list of the application, you can disable it as follows:

1. In Manage Monitoring, click on the application icon for the computer
2. Click the Modify button for the collection that you want to disable
3. Uncheck the Enabled box

The Event Shutoff section in the Event Details in the Event Monitor can be used to Disable an event indefinitely, or Suspend the event for up to 24 hours. Disabled/Suspended events have the following features:

• The Disabled/Suspended status will only effect the specific EventName/Measured Object/Computer that was selected. That is, if a Service Down alert is disabled for the Syslog service on computer Windows.test.net, it will not stop Service Down alerts from being created for other services or for other computers.
