Hello,

I'm having an issue understanding some of the functions around associated alarm data. In the script that I'm referencing they use both `alarmEvent.getClearedData()` and `alarmEvent.getActiveData()`. I've tried searching around a bit and other than some API documentations and a couple threads on here, I've failed to understand what the difference between these two functions are. Anyone able to point me in the right direction or explain the difference?
