Alarm Pipeline Mass Event Suppression

Ignition
1

Hello,
Does anyone have an idea as to how i could suppress events in my alarm pipelines?

For example, When a system power failure occurs, i receive 10+ alarms related to that power failure.
This results in several alarms needing to be acked by operators at the same time.

I would like to just evaluate if the power failure has occurred and notify on that single event, not all the others that are related due to the power failure.

Any ideas as to how i could evaluate if alarm 1, alarm2, alarm 3 etc., are active, then prevent those notification calls from occurring, but just notify on alarm1?
I am not sure how i would do this since events are configured independently.
Thank you!

Could alarm consolidation help you out here?

Hmm possibly will test it out.

I am not sure how this will work if i have multiple remote gateways.

Essentially i have a central gateway with alarm pipelines sorting by alarm priority level, and i have alarms configured across several remote gateways. So if i consolidate, and if alarms occur at another remote gateway, i dont know if those would get grouped together,
