 How can I automatically clear certain alarms after inactivity?

I have been asked to configure UIM so that certain alarms are automatically cleared after some period of inactivity. The alarms are created based on SNMP traps that arrive, and the request is to automatically clear these alarms but only after no new alarm-trap has been sent for 2 hours.

Is this possible to do out of the box, or will it require LUA scripting? The nas -> Auto-Operator -> Profile can do this based on "On overdue age", but that seems to only be counting from the time the first trap arrived (the one that created the alarm), and not since the latest trap was received.

Hi Elvind,

You most likely have to create a LUA script to handle the 'no new snmptd <specific msg> alarm being sent' aspect.
