Error message suppression system and method
First Claim
1. A system for message suppression, the system comprising:
- a memory that is adapted to store a data element corresponding to a failure notification and to store a corresponding timestamp; and
an interface adapted to;
receive the failure notification;
create the corresponding timestamp;
store the data element and the timestamp corresponding to the failure notification in the memory;
send a message corresponding to the failure notification;
suppress the sending of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification until a predetermined condition occurs; and
receive a notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification; and
send subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification in response to failure notifications received after the notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for message suppression. The system comprises a memory that is adapted to store a data element corresponding to a failure notification and to store a corresponding timestamp. Also included in the system is an interface adapted to receive the failure notification, create the corresponding timestamp, store the data element and the timestamp corresponding to the failure notification in the memory, send a message corresponding to the failure notification, suppress the sending of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification until a predetermined condition occurs, receive a notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification, and send subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification in response to failure notifications received after the notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages.

11. A computer network, comprising:
-
a plurality of computers, each of the plurality of computers being adapted to generate failure notifications; a memory adapted to store a data element corresponding to a failure notification received from one of the plurality of computers and to store a corresponding timestamp; and an interface that is adapted to; receive the failure notification; create the corresponding timestamp; store the data element and the corresponding timestamp in the memory; send a message corresponding to the failure notification; suppress the sending of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification until a predetermined condition occurs; and receive a notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification; and send subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification in response to failure notifications received after the notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method for suppressing error messages in a computer network, comprising:
-
receiving a failure notification; creating a corresponding timestamp; sending a message corresponding to the failure notification; establishing a predetermined condition prior to which the sending of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification is suppressed; receiving a notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification; and sending subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification in response to failure notifications received after the notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent messages corresponding to the failure notification. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A system for message suppression, the system comprising:
-
means for storing a data element corresponding to a failure notification and a corresponding timestamp; and means for issuing a failure message corresponding to the failure notification and suppressing subsequent failure messages based on the failure notification; and means for receiving an email notification to cancel the suppression of subsequent failure messages.
