<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">First, I think that supporting alarm suppression in Vitrage is a very good idea.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">One question that I have is: I understand that you plan to support it both in the UI and in the CLI. Do you want to the suppression to be per-user? per-tenant? global?
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regarding adding vitrage_alarm_type, my main concern is how the different datasources will fill this information. A monitor like Zabbix can have a lot of different alarms, and we will have to find a way to
map them to the different alarm types. Aodh could also have its own alarm types, etc. I believe that some monitors will not use this property at all, which will cause:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">When managing a cloud, there are situations where a particular alarm or a set of alarms from a particular resource are occurring frequently, however they are identifying issues that are not of concern, at
least for the time being. For example, new hardware is in the process of being installed and resulting in alarms to occur, or remote servers (e.g. NTP Servers) are unreliable and result in frequent connectivity alarms. In these situations, these irrelevant
alarms are cluttering the alarm displays and it would be helpful to be able to suppress these alarms.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Suppressed alarms would not be shown in Active Alarm lists or Historical Alarm lists, and would not be included in alarm counts.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There would be a CLI Option / Horizon Button, to enable looking at Alarms that are currently suppressed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">( i.e. the idea would be that suppressed alarms would still be tracked, they just would not be displayed by default)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
