Prime Infrastructure 3.5 - Extremely large number of minor rogue ap alarms.

[pannick]

Hey Gang,

 I just build out a new PI 3.5 system and the amount of minor ap alarms for Unclassified Rogue AP Detected is just unreal. I am talking up to 6,000 or more per day. We have a large environment with multiple locations so it gets crazy clearing them.

I was out on vacation and came back to 50,000.

Is there a way to clear them from the CLI or shell?

Thanks

 - From info's like the one below from the Prime manual(s) you at least be able to define a very short retention period for those alerts (for starters) :

Step 1

Choose Administration > Settings > System Settings > Alarms and Events > Alarms and Events.

Step 2

Modify the Alarm and Event Cleanup Options: Delete active and cleared alarms after—Enter the number of days after which active and cleared alarms are deleted. Delete cleared security alarms after—Enter the number of days after which Security, Rogue AP, and Adhoc Rogue alarms are deleted. Delete cleared non-security alarms after—Enter the number of days after which non-security alarms are deleted. Non-security alarms include all alarms that do not fall under the Security, Rogue AP, or Adhoc Rogue categories. Delete all events after—Enter the number of days after which all the events are deleted. Max Number of Events to Keep—Enter the number of events that needs to be maintained in the database.

Got the same issue since around PI 3.5 (oldest Rogue AP Minor I have is from April). This behavior somewhen changed, I didn't had that in the past.
I had the "Delete cleared security alarms after" already on 30 days and the "Delete cleared non-security alarms after" on 7 days. So I shouldn't have any events from April...
PI is running all the latest patches (checked today again).
