Delete or AutoRecover - Alarm Level Configuration

[racowi]

Would be nice if you guys add a funtion to delete a alarm after a specific time. 
I've checked the Alarm Level Configuration section but is only to upgrade alarms to another level.

I need something like that but to delete or restore automatically, so I don't have to clear stuff by myself.

Ex: A Switch rebooted and we got the "Cold start on the device" alarm. Ok fine, thanks for let me know... but the alarm never clear by itself. During 1 month or less I probably have like 700 similar alarms under Info or Warning Level that I need to clear by myself because everything usually came back to normal after half day or 1-2 days.

Thanks

any help?

didn't see any built in features for this. Maybe the REST api supports that.

It may work to use SQL against the DB - the alarms are stored in several monitor_db tables and if you set the ack_type and recover_type values for unrecovered alarms, that will clear them. There is an acked_time value and user name as well to set. The timestamp is tricky - the value is in seconds from some specifc date/time - not sure what date. But you could use a recent alarm as a base value. Select all that are unrecovered and set those values from 0 to 1 with a delta time of your choice. Set this up as a recurring script somewhere.

Try this after you've made a backup of your DB - can't guarantee this will work without unintended side effects.

Thanks for the reply. 
I'm very new to all of the REST API, so I can't do it.

And I'm also not to good with the SQL. 

I wish I could find a great tutorial about this.
