NOTE: If you disable a Platform Event Filter, the trap associated with that sensor
going "bad" is also disabled. Traps associated with "bad to good" transitions are
always generated, if the Enable Platform Event Filter Alerts option is enabled. For
example, if you disable the Generate Alert option for the Removebale Flash MEdia
Informational Assert Filter and remove the SD card, the associated trap is not
displayed. The trap is generated if you insert the SD card again. But if you enable
the Platform Event Filter, a trap is generated when you remove or insert the SD
card.
