Use the fmadm list-alert command to list all alerts that have not been cleared. See Display Information About Alerts for example output from the fmadm list-alert command.

Similar to faults, alerts can be repaired implicitly or explicitly. Because alerts do not necessarily represent problems that must be fixed, alerts are said to be cleared rather than repaired. An alert that is cleared is no longer active and no longer displayed by the fmadm list or fmadm list-alert commands.

• Implicit clear – An implicit clear occurs when the alert clears with no administrative action. For example, an alert that an FRU has been removed is automatically cleared by an alert that the same FRU has been added, and an alert that an FRU has been added automatically clears after 30 seconds.

• Explicit clear – Use the fmadm clear command to notify the Fault Manager that the specified alert event should be cleared.
