How to display inactive alerts
Published : April 8, 2005 | Updated : August 17, 2005
When an alert is resolved or when the conditions that generated the alert no longer apply, the alert becomes inactive. Inactive alerts are displayed for 30 days in the Alerts view of the Monitoring task area by default. After an alert has been inactive for 30 days, it is removed from the inactive alerts history and it can no longer be displayed.
If you want to hide inactive alerts, you can disable the Show inactive alerts option.
To disable inactive alerts
In DPM Administrator Console, click Monitoring on the navigation bar and then select the Alerts tab.
Clear the Show inactive alerts check box.
This check box is located below the navigation bar and above the Display pane.
When the Show inactive alerts option is enabled, a status category is added to the Alerts view in the Monitoring task area. When you group alerts by protection group, server, or severity, a status column is added that indicates whether an alert is active or inactive. When you group alerts by status, the alerts are displayed in two groups: Active and Inactive.
