Hi All,

Is there a full description of eventflags in alarm jounal eventflags table in alarm and events table?

The Ignition generate a lot of eventflags=24 in our system once the OPC connection restarted.

I think the event flags description in this table: [Alarm Journal - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Alarm+Journal#AlarmJournal-TableDefinitions)

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your reply.

It means Bit 3 and Bit 4 was activated during that event?

Thanks.

One last question.

We haven’t acknowledge any of those alarm, does it mean that those alarms are system event alarm? If yes, can we remove those system event alarms to our database so it won’t display on our alarm journal?

Thank you.
