3 Click the Add/Modify Condition button to add this specification to the filter definition.
You can create a multi-criteria specification using more than one parameter as long as each
parameter is different. You cannot filter using multiple specifications of the same parameter.
For example, in order to delete alarms for IP addresses 10.205.0.55 and 10.205.0.61, you must do this
in two operations.
4 To remove an individual criteria, select it in the current filter list and click the Remove Condition(s)
button. You can select and remove multiple filter criteria.
5 When your filter definition is complete, click Delete .
All alarm records that meet the conditions defined by the filter are deleted.
If you simply want to delete the last 300 alarms, leave the “ View last 300 alarms ” box checked, and
click Delete .

should be contained in the parameter value.

alarms).
