Was anyone able to figure this out? I’m needing to hide auto-acknowledged alarms too.

You can use the filterAlarm extension function in the alarm journal table to do it. I think a script like this will do it:

```auto
	ak = alarmEvent.getAckData()
	if ak:
		ak = str(ak)
		ak = ak.split(':',1)[1].rsplit(',')[0]
	
	if ak == 'Auto-Ack':
		return False
	else:
		return True

```

Simpler:  
`return alarmEvent.get("systemAck")`

Yeah! Thank you very much!   
ak = alarmEvent.get(“systemAck”)  
if ak == True:  
return False  
else:  
return True

Ugh. Use:

```auto
return not ak

```
