8.0 question concerning alarms
Testing 8.0 and really like the performance so far. I get this message in the console and can't find any doc to respond to this message. Has anyone else gotten this with 8.0 before I go and open a ticket. Is there a task to do this?
The number of alarms stored in the Foglight database has exceeded 10000.0. There are over 35456.0 alarms thathave been cleared for over a week. Please consider clearing.

Hi,
I think this is related to the following (I did copy/paste to some of the text).
It is not just a Foglight performance issue it is also a question of "can you really manage an environment that has so many alarms?" .
You probably want to clear alarms.
You can also tweak alarms by individually disabling noisy alarms, changing thresholds or disabling warning alarm levels (different environment run with different settings and the out of the box settings may fit some but not all environments.
You can also go to VMWare Environment Dashboard > Administration (Tab) > Set Alarm Sensetivity level and switch to essential alarms.
Hope this helps.
