Clear an activity

Use the following procedure to change the state of an activity (usually an alert) to Cleared.

NOTE:

Clearing an activity does not delete it.

Typically, you would clear an activity when the alert is no longer a concern and the health of the resource is not affected by that event. Because a Cleared activity is hidden from view, changing the state to Cleared helps reduce the number of activities displayed.

NOTE:
  • You cannot clear a Locked activity.
  • In the case where the locked alerts are not automatically cleared even though the issue is resolved, you can clear the locked alert using the REST API PUT /rest/alerts/{id}?force=true.
