Configuring the Management Server190
• The Clearing and Deletion Frequency - The frequency table determines how often the user
interface in Event Manager removes events and marks events as “cleared.” Events always
display as they occur in the user interface.
Important: Events are only removed or marked “cleared” when their automatic delay time is
completed. See the topics, ”Configuring the Clearing of Events” on page 191 and
”Configuring the Deletion of Events” on page 192.
Assume you set the clearing and deletion frequency to every 15 minutes with the initial time at
11:00 a.m. So every 15 minutes the management server checks for events marked for deletion
and for clearing, and it updated the user interface accordingly. Let's assume Informational
events are set to be cleared every hour, and an Informational event occurs at 12:20 p.m.
Exactly after an hour has passed, the management server marks this event as “cleared” but the
user interface is not updated because the frequency update of the user interface is every 15
minutes. If you looked at the Event Manager at 1:35 p.m. the event would be marked cleared.
See ”Modifying the Clearing and Deletion Frequency” on page 190 for more information.
• The Clearing of Events - You can determine how often events are marked “cleared.” See
”Configuring the Clearing of Events” on page 191.
• The Deletion of Events - You can determine how often events are deleted. Events are deleted
every two weeks by default. See ”Configuring the Deletion of Events” on page 192.
Modifying the Clearing and Deletion Frequency
You can modify how often the user interface in Event Manager removes events and marks events as
“cleared.” Events are still displayed as they occur in the user interface.
IMPORTANT: Events are only removed or marked “cleared” when their automatic delay time is
completed. See the topics, ”Configuring the Clearing of Events” on page 191 and ”Configuring
the Deletion of Events” on page 192.
