Startup parameter: alertfilters

Startup parameters change the behavior of the HPE Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

alertfilters

Description

This parameter defines the names of alerts that you want the HPE Service Manager server to filter out of alert messages. The HPE Service Manager server no longer posts alert messages from alert categories you filter.

You can use an asterisk (*) at the end of the alert name to specify all alerts within that category. For example, to filter out all performance alerts, type: alertfilters:Performance*.

You can use a semicolon to list additional alert names. For example, to specify all mapping alerts and a long running query alert against the contacts file, type: alertfilters:Mapping*;Performance-5-contacts.
