Too Many Messages in Event Manager

Symptom:

A high volume of messages occurs within Event Manager when the "Automatically forward ALL messages" option is enabled during the configuration of the CA NSM host names to which CA Automation Point is to forward messages. How can this volume be reduced?

Solution:

If the level of message suppression on your monitored hosts is not sufficient to reduce the traffic flow from CA Automation Point to acceptable levels, do not enable Automatically forward ALL messages. If Automatically forward ALL messages is not enabled, no messages will be forwarded unless you explicitly ask CA Automation Point to do so. Add new MSGID rules to CA Automation Point that match the subset of messages that you want to forward to Event Manager. Specify the UNIFWD keyword on each applicable MSGID rule.
