Each alert includes the following information about the event it reports: severity, state, description,
and urgency. You can clear alerts, assign owners to alerts, and add notes to alerts.
While alerts have an active or locked state, they contribute to a resource’s overall displayed status.
After you change their state to Cleared, they no longer affect the displayed status.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance keeps a running count of incoming alerts. At intervals of 500 alert messages, the
appliance determines if the number of alerts has reached 75,000. When it does, an auto-cleanup
occurs, which deletes alert messages until the total number is fewer than 74,200. When the
auto-cleanup runs, it first removes the oldest cleared alerts. Then it deletes the oldest alerts by
severity.
About tasks
All user-initiated tasks are reported as activities. User-initiated tasks are created when a user adds,
creates, removes, updates, or deletes resources.
The Activity screen provides a valuable source of monitoring and troubleshooting information that
you can use to resolve an issue. You can determine the type of task performed, whether the task
was completed, when the task was completed, and who initiated the task.
IMPORTANT: The appliance maintains a task database that holds information for approximately
six months or 50,000 tasks. If the task database exceeds 50,000 tasks within the six-month period,
the oldest blocks of 500 tasks are deleted until the count is fewer than 50,000. Tasks older than
six months are removed from the database.
The task database and the database that stores alerts are separate.
About the Activity sidebar
The Activity sidebar shows tasks initiated during the current session. The most recent task is displayed
first.
Task notifications provide information (including in-progress, error, and completion messages)
about tasks that were launched.
The Activity sidebar differs from the Activity screen because it displays only recent activity. The
Activity screen, in contrast, displays all activities and allows you to list, sort, and filter them. For
more information, see About Activity (page 29).

Activity states
DescriptionStateActivity
The alert has not been cleared or resolved.ActiveAlert
A resource’s active alerts are considered in the resource’s overall health status.
Active alerts contribute to the alert count summary.
An Active alert that was set (locked) by an internal resource manager.Locked
You cannot manually clear a Locked alert. Examine the corrective action
associated with an alert to determine how to fix the problem. After the problem
is fixed, the resource manager moves the alert to the Active state. At that
time, you can clear the alert.
A resource’s locked alerts contribute to its overall status.
The alert was addressed, noted, or resolved. You clear an activity when it no
longer needs to be tracked.
Cleared
The appliance clears certain activities automatically.
