Alarm Journal Query

Watch the video

The Alarm Journal Query data source is a simple way to access Alarming data within a report. It can pull from either the alarm journal data in the database, or the current live events that would show up in the Alarm Status Table, depending on if the "Use current status instead of history" option is checked.

Once created, the new Data Source will expose many alarming related keys in the Design Panel's Key Browser

Properties​

The Alarm Journal Query has a few properties that can be configured to filter the types of events you see in the returned dataset.

PropertiesDescription
Start Date and End DateThe time range from which to pull Alarms from. Start Date being the furthest date in the past, while End Date is the most recent date.
Include EventsAllows you to select which type of events will be returned. The options are
  • System
  • Cleared
  • Active
  • Acknowledgment
There is also a Use current status instead of history checkbox. As the text implies, this will use the current alarm status
Source FilterWill filter the alarms based on the source path. Multiple filters can be specified by separating them with a comma, and they accept the wildcard ( * ) symbol. Works in the same way that the filters on the Alarm Status Table component work.
Provider FilterWill filter the alarms based on the Tag Provider that they originate from. Can specify multiple filters by separating them with a comma.
Display Path FilterWill filter the alarms based on the display path. Multiple filters can be specified by separating them with a comma, and they accept the wildcard ( * ) symbol. Works in the same way that the filters on the Alarm Status Table component work.
Search FilterWill filter alarms by searching for the given string in both the display path and source path. Accepts comma separated paths.
Minimum Priority and Maximum PriorityThe minimum and maximum priority of alarms that will be returned.
