Issue/Introduction

How to archive a notification in Smarts SAM or OI through dmctl.

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

The following commands allows you to manually archive notifications from the command line.

1. Identify the event(s) you want to archive on your SAM/OI server:
   <BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <DOMAIN> getI ICS_Notification
   You may want to output the results from the above command to a file as this will make it easier to search for specific notifications.
2. After identifying a notification you want to archive, enter the following (all one line):
   <BASEDIR>/SAM/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <DOMAIN> invoke ICS_NotificationFactory::ICS-NotificationFactory archiveNotification ICS_Notification::NOTIFICATION-<Host_server.smarts.com_Down> <User> "Archived this SUSPENDED alarm"
