Hello ! I want to read available alarm notification profiles so Im using this script ```auto from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway context = IgnitionGateway.get() notificationList= context.getAlarmNotificationManager().getProfileNames() ``` this script returns nothing. So, I have read most of topics on this section [Search results for 'import IgnitionGateway' - Inductive Automation Forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/search?q=import%20IgnitionGateway) and I noticed that most of scripting uses all methods listed on this section [GatewayContext](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/model/GatewayContext.html). However I didn't find any method to read all alarm notification profiles. Do you have any idea? ---

When you looked at the javadoc for the `GatewayContext` to find the `.getAlarmNotificationManager()` method, did you notice the return data type? Of `AlarmManager`? If you followed _ **that** _ link, it would show you what you would be able to use with the alarm manager object. (You were close.) ---

Hello pturmel, thank you your fast response My dubt still there because on `GatewayContext` the `.getAlarmNotificationManager()` method is not listed. I only found `.getAlarmManager()` which doesn't have any method to get notification profile names. But the method is on this package [com.inductiveautomation.ignition.alarming.notification](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.13/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/alarming/notification/package-summary.html) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/8/08bf2bed3114cbfffb3b42e47466ffda7ff6e6de.png) How could I use this method that is not listed on `GatewayContext`? ---

Oh, I see. That's implemented by the alarm notification **module**. You'll have to get the module manager and request the alarm notification module by its ID string. Then examine the returned object (its gateway hook) to see what interfaces it exposes. (If you are lucky, the gateway hook **is** the alarm notification manager.) ---

The hook class for the alarm notification module implements [`AlarmNotificationContext`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.31/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/alarming/AlarmNotificationContext.html). So not quite directly, but pretty close. ---

Thank you for your feedback. Actually I'm not sure how to use a different context from `GatewayContext` ```auto from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.alarming.notification import IgnitionGateway context = IgnitionGateway.get() notificationList= context.getProfileNames() ``` I belive I have to use a different class instead of `IgnitionGateway` but I couldn't find any ☹ ---

IgnitionGateway is the instance class of GatewayContext. That interface defines a method `getModule(moduleId)` (or something like that, I'm on my phone). That method allows you reach "into" another module to ask it for it's hook class. If you provide the ID of the alarm notification module, you'll get an instance that has the methods listed on the Alarm notification context interface I linked above, which you could the use to get access to what you're looking for. Probably. ---

> [@paul-griffith](#): > > That interface defines a method `getModule(moduleId)` Not quite. It defines `getModuleManager()`, which I mentioned above. The module manager has `getModule()`. David, when dealing with the SDK, you have to explore. The `GatewayContext` that `IgnitionGateway` implements is the core of the system, and mostly exposes tools to get **subsystems** , which then sometimes have their own nested components. { When exploring you will sometimes encounter a java `Interface` that doesn't seem to show all possibilities, and doesn't list any implementations. That means the implementation details aren't public. Beware of such cases. } ---

Thank you so much, I have this script ```auto stringID='com.inductiveautomation.alarm-notification' from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway context = IgnitionGateway.get() newContext= context.getModuleManager().getModule(stringID) notificationProfiles=newContext.getAlarmNotificationManager().getProfileNames() ``` newContext returns: `ModuleManagerImpl$LoadedModule[id="com.inductiveautomation.alarm-notification", state="RUNNING"]` I got the error log that `org.python.core.PyException: AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.modules.M' object has no attribute 'getAlarmNotificationManager'` ---

Or skip the module manager entirely; GatewayContext extends CommonContext so you can just use `context.getModule(moduleId)`: [https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.31/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/model/CommonContext.html#getModule(java.lang.String)](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.31/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/model/CommonContext.html#getModule(java.lang.String)) ---

Ah! That's the one that returns the hook directly.
