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