Maximum Number of Alerts

The maximum number of alerts per family (hosts, networks, interfaces, etc). Alerts are checked periodically and, in case the actual number of alerts exceeds the maximum number, oldest alerts will be deleted to preserve a number of alerts equal to the 80% of the maximum configured number.

The maximum number of days before an alert is deleted. All the alerts older then that period will be automatically deleted both at startup and periodically by ntopng
