Overview

By design, IPAM almost enabled all events after 2026.1.1, causing a flood of events in the events view, especially IPAM Subnet Scan Information and IPAM IP Node Changed.

IPAM IP Node Changed - EventType = 942

IPAM Subnet Scan Information - EventType = 960 

What this does:

  • Mute = true mutes the event type.
  • Record = false stops it from being written normally to events.
  • Notify = false disables notification on that event type.
