If you have automation that assumes that suppression (NODISPLAY) implies no automation (NOAUTO), and the automation is critically dependent on specific messages (for example to signal that a program is UP or DOWN), you may want to code a SPECIFIC message entry for those messages. Specify an action of IGNORE which will cause Message Flood Automation to ignore the message even if the specific message threshold is exceeded and other actions have been specified (or defaulted) for the message. Providing a SPECIFIC message entry keeps the message out of both ACTION message and REGULAR message processing.
