How to tackle duplicate events when multiple event sources are configured?

We have few event sources which monitor same systems. One is OOB connector and other is custom one.

For OOB one, the Message key auto generated.

For custom one, the message key us generated via OOB BR "Add message key if missing" 

And in this case, the message key is different for same issue.

 

Hence two different alerts are generated for the same events. How do we handle this event/alert duplicate?

Hi Suggy,

 


Better late than never. You can create event field mappings or event rules to change your messagekey so both sources have the same messagekey.

 

For example, you could use the fields Node, Type and resource to recreate a new message key on the alert level that would match on both sources ex : SERVERNAME_Hardware_CPU

 

Hope it helps
