Maintaining the Alarm Management System

The alarm manager database on the Novell ZENworks Server Management server increases in size each time the Alarm Management System logs an alarm.

IMPORTANT:  If you do not control the size of this database, it can increase until it fills the hard disk on the management server.

To control the size of the alarm manager database, regularly delete alarms that have been resolved or alarms that are not required for future reference or action. This deletes the instance of the alarm record from the alarm manager database and thus controls the size of the database.

You can delete alarms from the Alarm History view in Novell ConsoleOne under the View menu. For more information, see Deleting Alarms.
