Hello!!

I got a problem with the STATUS ALARM, the fact is that i would like to reset the status alarm table. But i have just the option to delete the alarm log in the SQL database. But the alarm are even there.  
I guess that the status alarm is storage in another internal database.

So I went to the console in the gateway configaration to the Raw Settings Viewer (I know that is dangerous to touch this) and I deleted the ALERTSATE table rows. But the status alarms are still in the table.

Somebody can tell me how i can reset the status alarm table to 0?

Thanks!!

Follow this path to find the .alert file then delete it, this will delete the alert cache
