HP OneView - Manual (Page 175)

IMPORTANT: The appliance maintains a tasks database that holds information for approximately
6 month’s worth of tasks or 50,000 tasks. If the tasks database exceeds 50,000 tasks, blocks of
500 tasks are deleted until the count is fewer than 50,000. Tasks older than 6 months are removed
from the database.
The tasks database is different from the stored alerts.

A resource’s active alerts help determine its health status.
Active alerts contribute to the count summaries.

time, you can clear or delete the alert.
