Ticket: CFE-159 Changelog: none
The 'silence' attribute takes a list of change categories (content, add, remove, owner, group, perms, device, mtime, inode, stats or all) whose alert output is suppressed. A silenced category no longer logs its alert, while the promise outcome classes, the checksum_alerts class and the persistent audit log in file_changes.log are all still recorded, so policy can keep reacting to the change. Failures are never silenced. Ticket: CFE-159 Changelog: Added the `silence` attribute to `body changes`, which suppresses the alert output of selected file-change categories while still setting the change classes and writing the audit log.
