Configuring grooming alerts

Metalogix Backup for SharePoint alert grooming lets you automatically remove any alert notifications that are older than the number of days specified. Groomed alerts no longer appear on the Alerts page in the Management Console. By default, Metalogix Backup for SharePoint grooms alerts older than 30 days, automatically deleting older alerts. To change alert grooming, you must configure the settings separately for each farm.
