[WEBUI] Clear old alert messages in the WebUI

[FS1961]

Discussed in #3041

^{Originally posted by FS1961 December 7, 2024}
I love this tool. It's been helpful identifying issues for me. However, when I reboot my system, Glances seems to find "old" alerts. How do I clear them? I'm just webbing into the port 61208.

You can see the alerts are from Nov 7th. I am pressing 'h' for help, 'x' and 'w' appears to have no effect.

here is my docker config:

version: "3.9" services: glances: container_name: Glances image: nicolargo/glances:latest healthcheck: test: curl -f http://localhost:61208/ || exit 1 mem_limit: 4g cpu_shares: 768 security_opt: - no-new-privileges:true pid: host privileged: true network_mode: host restart: on-failure:5 ports: - 61208:61208 volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro environment: GLANCES_OPT: -w TZ: Europe/Berlin

Hi @FS1961

unfortunatly it is not possible for the moment in the WebUI.

The only workaround is to restart your Glances container.

[FS1961]

Thanks for the response, but this doesn't work. I restarted the container. See below.

Sorry, maybe I'm confused? Is the critical warning/alert misformated and really 2024-11-12? So from today? Is this why I think they are older than they are?

[FS1961]

I think I see part of the problem. - the Warnings are misformated. It is giving the wrong month.Please see this which is after a recent restart. Should be 2024-12-11 or Dec 12th however you want to format it.

A new button has been added in the WebUI in order to clear the list (all the alert):

Capture.video.du.2024-12-22.19-16-48.webm

Pushed on the develop branch.

Will be release in Glances 4.3.
