Clearing Events
You might want to mark an event as “cleared” if you have already reviewed it. Use one of the
following techniques to mark an event as “cleared”:
• Click the Clear this Event button in the Event Details pane, which is accessible by clicking the
summary text link.
• Right-click the event listed in Event Manager and select Mark as Cleared from the drop-down
menu. This menu does not appear if you right-click the summary text link.
• Select the check box to the left of the event and click the Clear button in Event Manager.
Note: You can clear more than one event by selecting the check box to the left of the ID column
header and then clicking the Clear button in Event Manager.
Unclearing Events
You can unclear events by doing one of the following:
• Click the Set this Event to Not Cleared button in the Event Details pane
• Select the check box to the left of the event and click the Undo Clear button in Event Manager.
You can unclear multiple events at once by select them and then clicking the Undo Clear button.
• Right-click an event in Event Manager and select the Mark as NOT Cleared option from the
drop-down menu. This menu does not appear if you right-click the summary text link.
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.
