Alarms may not be deleted from the alarm database until they have been acknowledged and until the source device is in a normal
(not alarm) state.
Prerequisites: The Alarm Data Maintenance view is open.
- Select one of the following three options:
- Clear Old Records clears alarm records before the date and time specified in the
Before field. This field is not available when you select either of the other options.
- Clear All Before Selected Record deletes all records that have a timestamp earlier than the timestamp of the record that you select in the Alarm History pane table. The selected record is not deleted.
- Clear All Records deletes all records that appear in the Alarm History pane table regardless of the date.
- Click the Run Maintenance button to initiate the delete action.
The Confirm Clear window displays to clarify that you are about to delete records and that the operation cannot be reversed.
- If the information in the Confirm Clear window confirms that you are deleting the desired alarm records, click the Yes button (otherwise click the No button).
The alarm records are deleted and removed from the Alarm History table in the Alarm History pane.
