I'm starting to configure alarms and configure an alarm journal as indicated in the documentation(in database), but I can't get the alarm journal table to work, I don't know if I'm skipping any steps. already configured alarms and if they appear in the alarm status table

You're not giving much of a clue what you've done, what you expected and what you got.  
"My car is broken. What is wrong with it?"

Ok, so the journal appears to be working. How did you set up the Alarm Journal Component in Perspective? (Show details)

If you haven't configured it, it's pretty obvious why it isn't working.

Start with the documentation:

> **[Perspective - Alarm Journal Table | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-display-palette/perspective-alarm-journal-table)**
>
> The Perspective Alarm Journal Table displays the history of the alarm system.

At the very least, you must set `props.name` and `props.dateRange`.
