How to select one alert and delete it ? When i try action -> clear, i have
no item selected.

Thanks for any advice.

You do not need to delete anything. The alert message details state the appliance will automatically remove alerts to create room.

I found how to delete messages with 

delete https:// .... date.

But this is temporary solution.

Every day, i had until i delete messages, one message on my mailbox regarding hp one view !

If i do nothing, messages will stop ? Are you sure ?

[ChrisLynch]

Yes, we know that the Warning alert message will appear if you have Email Alerting enabled. No, the messages will continue, but the appliance will automatically remove older alerts for you. What is happening is that we chose 75,000 max alerts in the internal database. The alert generated when you reach the 75,000 limit should not be Warning, but Informational. If you have OneView 3.00, you could create a custom Email Filter for specific resources you want, which would then exclude the appliance generated alert for when the max alerts condition is reached.

It would be great if the severity of this alert could be changed to Informational in a future OneView release.

I eventually did the following:

1. Install the HPE OneView PowerShell  3.00 Library

2. Execute the following:

 Connect-HPOVMgmt -Hostname (OV Appliance) -UserName (Your Username)

 Get-HPOVAlert -State  cleared -Count 1000 | Remove-HPOVAlert

This clears 1000 alerts at a time. You can at least change this value to 10000. Anything too high

will stall the process.

Hello,

I have still troubles with 75 000 alerts.

Have you link to download HPE OneView PowerShell  3.00 Library ?
I tried to find it with google ... but nothing ...

Thanks.

Here is the link to download the latest version of the library:

However, as Chris said earlier in this thread, this is not something you need to take action on.  The 75,000 alert message is purely informational and the appliance will automatically delete older alerts once it reaches 75,000.

My Alert Email Filter is currently set to Alert Critera Advanced with "status:critical status:warning" and to match any resource.  To ignore these Warning messages for just the Max number of alerts reached, I am not sure what to Exclude with a NOT operation.  I have seen these alerts from both the Licence and Network resource category.  Can you please share a specific filter that would work?

[meant0m]

So I ended up changing the filer to:

status:critical status:warning NOT Associated resource category:"Licenses"

which has now suppressed those emails regarding "The maximum number of 75000 alerts..." however it will also supress anything else that falls under the License category.  I guess time will tell if that causes a negative impact.

Will the severity every be changed? I've updated to OV 10.0 last week, I can't remember seeing this alert before. But since the update we get the alarm notification mail every day.

This problem has been solved for 8+ years.  I'm not sure anyone has an OV 3.0 installation to duplicate your issue any longer.  There is a possibility something was already a problem prior to your upgrade-- please start a new topic.  This one was specifically around issues in 2017.  If you upgraded, you may have a unique scenario. ..and open a support case.
