I have two alarm tables but i not sure where the alarms get acknowledged. I wanted to filter my alarm screens based on processes and if there acknoledged or not. I looked at the tables but nothing stood out.

Does anyone have any suggestions where to look?

I was looking at alarm\_events and alarm\_event\_data

Thanks

Acknowledgement is an event type, so `SELECT * FROM alarm_events WHERE eventtype = 2` would give you all the acknowledgement events.
