Event Masking

Event masking (also known as topological masking) consists in ignoring events pertaining to systems that are downstream of a failed system. For example, network servers that are downstream of a crashed router will fail availability polling.

In Iotellect, every Device has a Dependency Expression that prevents its synchronization and polling by suspending it when this expression resolved to FALSE. Thus, you can set your devices to be dependent to other device(s) or resource(s), preventing any event to be originated from any device auto-disabled according to its dependencies.
