At a time, a maximum of 50,000 alerts can be generated and viewed by using OpenManage Enterprise. When 95% of the 50,000 limit
(47,500) is reached, OpenManage Enterprise generates an internal message indicating that, when the count reaches 50,000,
OpenManage Enterprise will automatically purge 10% (5000) of the archived alerts. The table lists different scenarios involving the alert
purging.
