Deleting and Archiving Events and Alerts &PRODUCT; provides you the ability to delete or archive the existing alerts and events that you no longer want to implement. You can regularly delete or archive any alerts or events that you cannot, or do not want to resolve from the database. You can delete or archive individual alerts or events either directly by using the Quickview or by using the Details page. If you want to delete multiple alerts or events at the same time, you can use the respective context menu. You can delete alerts or events by category for a time period. For example, you can select categories such as USER.LOGOUT, VM.DESTROY, VM.AG.UPDATE, CONFIGURATION.VALUE.EDI, and so on. You can also view the number of events or alerts archived or deleted. In order to support the delete or archive alerts, the following global parameters have been added: alert.purge.delay: The alerts older than specified number of days are purged. Set the value to 0 to never purge alerts automatically. alert.purge.interval: The interval in seconds to wait before running the alert purge thread. The default is 86400 seconds (one day). Archived alerts or events cannot be viewed in the UI or by using the API. They are maintained in the database for auditing or compliance purposes.
Permissions Consider the following: The root admin can delete or archive one or multiple alerts or events. The domain admin or end user can delete or archive one or multiple events.
Procedure Log in as administrator to the &PRODUCT; UI. In the left navigation, click Events. Perform either of the following: To archive events, click Archive Events, and specify event type and time period. To archive events, click Delete Events, and specify event type and time period. Click OK.
