Performing Issue Suppression

Issue suppression enables users with Issues: Modify Suppression Parameters privileges to indicate which issues should be ignored by NetMRI for purposes of reporting and scorecard generation. Suppressed issues are still analyzed internally (because the associated analysis may be looking for multiple issues), but they are not displayed (by default) or used to compute scorecard values.

Issue suppression status is listed at the Settings icon > Issue Analysis section > Suppression. The table on this page lists all issues defined in the system and the analysis and penalties associated with that issue. The checkbox at the left end of each row indicates suppression status. If checked, the issue is suppressed.

To suppress an issue, click the checkbox for that issue. Settings are committed automatically.

To see a full description of an issue and review suppressed instances, click the hyperlink in the Issue Name column. To view analysis task details, click the hyperlink in the Analysis Task Name column.

It is possible to suppress all issues, which ensures a perfect score. Infoblox does not recommend this practice. Click the Component column header to sort Issue Names by their respective categories.
