/subscriptions/<platformType>/suppressions resource is used to store a list of attribute tags and recommendation properties available to the Subscriptions resource for the purpose of suppressing specific sets of system recommendations from the resulting subscription data set.
This resource acts as a catalog of the suppression tags or properties to be referenced by the suppressionReferences parameter in the Subscriptions resource . Suppression entries (tags or properties) not defined in a /subscriptions/<platformType>/suppressions resource cannot be referenced; you must define the suppression entries before using them in a suppression condition. See Subscriptions for details on defining a subscription.
There is a catalog for each supported <platformType>, which can only be referenced by the corresponding <platformType> subscription. For example, a container subscription (i.e. /subscriptions/containers) can only reference suppressions from the Container Subscriptions Suppressions catalog (i.e. /subscriptions/containers/suppressions).
Suppression entries can be declared as global or private (i.e. user-specific). Global suppression entries can be used by any API enabled user, while private entries can only be used by their owners. Note that have access to all suppression entries - global or private user-specific.
Resource
If you use this resource without the
<platformType> specified (i.e. without cloud or containers specified), the behavior is exactly the same as specifying the cloud-specific resource. This behavior enables backward compatibility with scripts using the Densify API prior to release 12.1.6, where the platform-specific indicator was not available.
