Hello,

is there a way to ack/delete more than 50 alerts at once?

Due to a misconfiguration I've got ore than 4000 alerts that now I'd like to get rid of.

If there is a command line way it would be even better.

Thanks

You should see an option to "Select All" at the bottom of the list. Is that not there?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately it selects only "all" the ones shown on the current page and I supposed I could only show up to 50 records.

Sorry, I just saw that I can display a custom number of records (option that I didn't see at first) so I can select up to 2000 at once.

I would have liked a command line command to run at the console :)

Thanks again.

RB

You can easily change how many show up on each page. Just click the following:

Then select Custom. Then enter the number of records you want per page.

Yes, I saw I can customize the number of record displayed and 2000 is the max.

But beeing a CLI fanatic I wished there was a solution from the console of the Airwave server.

have you tried running the alert_cleanup.pl perl script on the console?

It's in the following directory:

/root/svn/mercury/scripts

How does that script work? Can you provide an example?

The alert_cleanup.pl script will only clear out acknowledged alerts that are older than AMP Setup -> Historical Data Retention box -> Acknowledged Alerts setting.  By default, the setting is 60 (days).

To run:

# scripts

(scripts is alias for 'cd /root/svn/mercury/scripts)

# ./alert_cleanup.pl

If you don't care about any of the existing alerts (acknowledged & unacknowledged), you can simply remove them all in a single command:

# dbc 'delete from alert;'

All deletes are final.
