Suspended Resource Definition

You can suspend a resource from affecting the aggregate status of its parents and from displaying in RODM exception views.

For example, if you have a resource that you know is being serviced, you might choose to suspend the resource. This would prevent it from continuing to affect the status of its parent resource, which could mask other problems in that aggregate. For instance, the parent resource returns to satisfactory status. Then if another child resource fails, the status of the parent will degrade, warning you that there is an additional problem. If you choose not to suspend the first source, and the second child resource goes down, you may not see any change in the status of the parent resource. The problem of the first resource may mask the problem of the second resource, prohibiting you from discovering further problems.
