I want to use the alarm data recorder to measure KPIs like _[https://demo.inductiveautomation.com/data/perspective/client/OnlineDemo/feature/alarming/journal](https://demo.inductiveautomation.com/data/perspective/client/OnlineDemo/feature/alarming/journal)_  
but I know that Edge doesn’t include database support.  
What is the best way to access the data buffer in order to create a summary view and sort them by specific categories, like frequency or duration?
