Configuring the Clearing of Events

Depending on the severity of an event, the management server may mark the event as “clear” after 60 minutes. Events designated as Major and Critical are never marked as “clear.” You can change the time delay in clearing an event, and you can specify that the management server never marks an event as “clear”.

To help you in filtering events, you may want to have unimportant events marked as cleared rather than automatically deleted. Depending on how you have configured the deletion of events, you can view the “cleared” events at a later time.

See the following table for the default settings for clearing events.
