Core Alert: ERROR - CONSOLIDATION RULE: Consolidate inbound message rejected or authentication failure

Microsoft.BizTalk.Server.2010.ConsolidateInboundMessageFailure (Rule)

Core Alert: ERROR - CONSOLIDATION RULE: Consolidate inbound message rejected or authentication failure.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule consolidates all application event log error messages due to 'authentication required' verification failure on inbound messages at a BizTalk Receive Port. Verification is expected to fail for a large number of messages in a real denial of service scenario. In order to protect against flooding MOM with alerts related to such messages, these events are consolidated.
