 Normally, when a rule meets its criteria repeatedly, it creates multiple alerts, one for each time the rule's criteria are met. When alert suppression is configured, duplicate qualifying events are grouped, and only one alert is created for each group. Depending on the rule type, you can configure alert suppression to create alerts each time the rule runs, or once within a specified time window. You can also specify multiple fields to group events by unique combinations of values.

 . When configuring the rule type (the *Define rule* step for a new rule, or the *Definition* tab for an existing rule), specify how you want to group events for alert suppression:

-* Custom query rule: In *Suppress alerts by*, enter 1-3 field names to group events by the fields' values.
-* Threshold rule: In *Group by*, enter up to 3 field names to group events by the fields' values, or leave the setting empty to group all qualifying events together.

 NOTE: If you specify a field with multiple values, an alert grouping is created for each value. For example, if you suppress alerts by `destination.ip` of `[127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3]`, alerts will be suppressed separately for each value of `127.0.0.1`, `127.0.0.2`, and `127.0.0.3`.

+NOTE: If you specify a field with multiple values, an alert grouping is created for alerts that contain the array you specified. For example, if you suppress alerts by `destination.ip` of `[127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3]`, alerts that contain this array are grouped and suppressed.

+* *Per rule execution*: (Only available for custom query rules and indicator match rules) Create an alert each time the rule runs and meets its criteria.
 * *Per time period*: Create one alert for all qualifying events within a specified time window, beginning when the rule first meets its criteria and creates the alert. (This is the only option available for threshold rules.)
 +
 For example, if a rule runs every 5 minutes but you don't need alerts that frequently, you can set the suppression time period to a longer time, such as 1 hour. If the rule meets its criteria, it creates an alert at that time, and for the next hour, it'll suppress any subsequent qualifying events.

 * *Do not suppress alerts for events with missing fields*: Create a separate alert for each matching event. This basically falls back to normal alert creation for events with missing suppression fields.
