Alarm Status Ticker

Hi everyone,

I'm working in Perspective and would like to display the latest alarm event/status in a banner or ticker-style component.

The goal is to always show the most recent alarm, including information such as:

  • Alarm Name
  • Equipment/Source
  • Priority
  • Current state (Active, Cleared, Acknowledged)
  • Event timestamp

I plan on using the Alarm Journal component on its own page but I want to show in the header on on every page page what the most recent alarm is a second option would be to have it as a full blown ticker like a stock market ticker where are alarms are streamed across it.

I'm a bit at a loss on where to start to do something like this code wise. I understand how to dive down to an individual alarm on a static tag but making it generic or pull the latest I'm at a loss.

Thanks
