Newly added to the SCOMAgentHelper management pack is a task that is capable of:
- Reset health for all monitors of the object instance.
- Trigger health recalculation for eligible monitors.
- Close all eligible alerts for the instance.
In the example below you can see the Exchange Online service object has alerts generated from both a rule and a monitor. The task parameter, “ResetMontitorHealth”, is true and therefore will reset the health of the eligible monitors for the instance. This means that ALL monitors which target the Exchange service instance will be reset. This will automatically resolve any alerts that are automatically resolvable. The task parameter, “CloseEligibleAlerts”, is true and therefore will close all existing alerts which are closeable via the SDK.

Hello 🙂
Will this script work for monitors that were triggered before device were deleted from SCOM.
I have plenty of alerts that are still present but device is not with us anymore 🙂
Best regards!
If the “source” of the alerts has been deleted or undiscovered, then I would expect the related alerts to vanish (auto close). Try clearing the Console cache. Try forcing a DiscoveryDataPurge with the task contained in my “Maintenance” MP.
If that doesn’t work, perhaps you have an orphan situation which might require guidance from a Microsoft support engineer.
