probably the sql tables used by the vcenter database<br />
<br />
if you are getting non-stop alarms, check your alarm settings<br />
you can change from every x min to once<br />
can't help on the sql part for clearing tables though

Actually a restart of the Vcenter server cleared this for me. The alarms were power failure alarms I have setup to let me know if the server room had a power failure event.. which it did.

Hello,<br />
I had a power outtage and getting non stop VMware alarms..even though the system is back on. I turned off mail until I got the problem resolved thinking I would no longer get the alarms.. but as soon as I re-enabled mail(just popping my mail server info back in).. I am constantly getting them and don't know how to stop it. How can I clear the mail queue in VMware?<br />
<br />
**EDIT ** - I did find this article.. but I don't understand the tables that it's speaking of or where to find them.<br />

VMware Alarm notifications

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
