6.10.5 Setting a threshold for automatically suppressing event forwarding on an agent

To automatically suppress event forwarding by setting a threshold in advance, in case a large number of events occur on an agent:

Edit the forwarding setting file on the agent on which you want to automatically suppress event forwarding.

In the forwarding setting file of JP1/Base on the agent, set the conditions for suppressing event forwarding (which are equivalent to the threshold of frequently occurring events).

The format of the condition for suppressing event forwarding is as follows:
```
suppress ID unit-of-time threshold-value confirmation-count [destination(optional)]
event-filter
end-suppress
```
For details about the conditions for suppressing event forwarding, see the description about the forwarding settings file (forward) in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
Enable the changes in the forwarding setting file.

Reload the forwarding setting file or restart the event service to enable the new settings.

If the event occurrence status matches the set conditions for suppressing event forwarding, event forwarding is suppressed.

While event forwarding is suppressed, investigate the agent that is outputting the large number of events, and resolve the problem.
