ICAgent management

Alarm rules
The upgraded AOM allows to define more advanced threshold rules including defining templates. Also, the SMN integration is enhanced to make use of message templates from SMN. Detailed description.
Alarm Noise-Reduction
AOM supports alarm noise reduction. Alarms can be processed based on the alarm noise reduction rules to prevent notification storms.
Alarm noise reduction consists of four parts:
- Grouping rules
- Deduplication rules
- Suppression rules
- Silence rules
With this new feature it is possible to group alarms together to trigger only one action rule. Define suppression rules, for known alarms to be ignored and silence rules either defined for a fixed time or a cycle time.
