About this task
When the Event Management plugin is activated, by default a job is scheduled to run the Event Management - auto close alerts script to automatically close alerts in the alerts table that meet the specified conditions. The default retention policy for closed alerts is that the system deletes closed alerts if it is not updated for 90 days. For more information on the scheduled job, see Table cleaner.
Due to the high level of traffic to the table, you cannot audit the Alert table [em_alert] as a whole. Instead, audit selected fields of interest on the table.
Procedure
Set the table to
audit = true.Set
audit = trueon the relevant fields.To avoid an excess of audit records, audit only the fields that are necessary for auditing.
Result
The Event Management - auto close alerts script runs automatically and repeatedly at the scheduled time and closes alerts that meet the specified conditions.
