For alarms created with state change conditions, when you manually clear an alarm, the window where you can change object’s state will open.

The functionality of state change on manual clearing of alarms is useful for objects with "event driven" probes, for which the condition to transit to an alarm state is any incoming event. For instance, the SNMP Trap probe.
When new data arrives to the object, the state, which has been applied on manual clearing of the alarm, will be changed according to state change conditions.

Cleared alarm will be automatically changed to the CLEARED state, and moved to the alarm history after the pre-defined time (default – 2 minutes).

If you select the "Clear and remove" item in the context menu, the alarm will be marked with the symbol and permanently removed after the pre-defined time elapses. You can cancel removal with before the time runs out by clicking the "Undo remove" item in the context menu.
