Is there an event that occurs when an alarm is shelved? I’d like to be able to tell the PLC if a specific alarm is shelved.

Don’t know of an event triggered when an alarm is shelved, but you can periodically check which alarms are shelved with [system.alarm.getShelvedPaths](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.alarm.getShelvedPaths).

Thanks.  
I may try something like that in the UDT to flesh that out.
