Event suppression tool for temporarily suppressing actions on received events
First Claim
1. An event suppression tool for use with an event management system for managing events received for given resources, wherein during defined times, events related to said resources are generated and sent to the event management system, and the event management system receives said events and issues actions in response to receiving said events, the event suppression tool comprising:
- a database having a resource table;
a batch loader interface for creating or updating said resource table;
a web based user interface to said database;
a batch interface to receive data about planned activities and affected resources; and
code for creating suppression activity windows based on said data and said resource table, and for sending to the event management system a suppression event identifying a period of time and an associated one of the resources to prevent the event management system from issuing actions in response to receiving, during said time period, events for said one of the resources; and
wherein;
the event management system records on a log events for said one of the resources and received during said time period; and
the tool retrieves the events recorded on the log.

Abstract
Disclosed are a tool, a method, and a computer program for suppressing events. The tool comprises a database having a resource table, a batch loader interface for creating or updating said resource table, and a web based user interface to said database. The event suppression tool further comprises a batch interface to receive data about planned activities and affected resources; and code for creating suppression activity windows from said data and said resource table, and for suppressing from said user interface, new events that fall within said activity windows. The preferred embodiment of the invention allows temporarily suppressing various actions for events received for certain resources during specified times.

7. A method for suppressing events and for use with an event management system for managing events received for given resources, wherein during defined times, events related to said resources are generated and sent to the event management system, and the event management system receives said events and issues actions in response to receiving said events, the method comprising the following computer-implemented steps:
-
providing a database having a resource table; using a batch loader interface for creating or updating said resource table; providing a web based user interface to said database; using a batch interface to receive data about planned activities and affected resources; and creating suppression activity windows based on said data and said resource table, and for sending to the event management system a suppression event identifying a period of time and an associated one of the resources to prevent the event management system from issuing actions in response to receiving, during said time period, events for said one of the resources; and
wherein;the event management system records on a log events for said one of the resources and received during said time period; and the tool retrieves the events recorded on the log. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for suppressing events and for use with an event management system for managing events received for given resources, wherein during defined times, events related to said resources are generated and sent to the event management system, and the event management system receives said events and issues actions in response to receiving said events, said method steps comprising:
-
accessing a database having a resource table; enabling a batch loader interface to create or update said resource table; enabling a web based user interface to said database; enabling a batch interface to receive data about planned activities and affected resources; and creating suppression activity windows from said data and said resource table, and for sending to the event management system a suppression event identifying a period of time and an associated one of the resources to prevent the event management system from issuing actions in response to receiving, during said time period, events for said one of the resources; and
wherein;the event management system records on a log events for said one of the resources and received during said time period; and the tool retrieves the events recorded on the log. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
