Building list of disabled alarms

Ignition
1

I would like to get a list of disabled alarms so I can see which alarms are disabled and reenable them selectively. I've tried using

system.alarm.queryStatus(any_properties=[("enabled", "!=", "TRUE")])

but it doesn't return anything. What would be the best way to go about finding disabled alarms?

2

The enabled property isn't a string. Use jython's True instead of "TRUE".

3

Using True still returns nothing, running the inverse condition, "FALSE" or False does return all the enabled alarms.

4

Hmmm.

Try:

system.alarm.queryStatus(any_properties=[("enabled", "=", False), ("enabled", "=", None)])
5

That didn't seem to work either. Running with just system.alarm.queryStatus() it only returned the enabled alarms.

Would using system.tag.query perhaps be an alternative route to try?

6

Likely. If you use the Tag Report Tool to generate a working search, you can save as a jython script for further optimization.

I have had similar behavior in the past and sort of assumed at a certain point in the alarming module, that a tag with disabled alarms was ignored the same as a tag with no alarm.

If all the tags you are looking at happen to be in one not-too-big part of the tag tree, you can get the desired result with system.tag.getConfiguration like this:

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.tags.config.types import TagObjectType

def has_disabled_alarms(tag_config):
	return any((alarm_config['enabled'] != True) for alarm_config in tag_config.get('alarms',[]))

def filter_tag_configs(tag_config, filter_test, path_to_tag=None):
	if path_to_tag is None:
		path_to_tag = str(tag_config.get('path',''))
	else:
		path_to_tag = path_to_tag + '/' + str(tag_config.get('path',''))
	tag_type = tag_config.get('tagType','')
	tag_paths = []
	if tag_type == TagObjectType.Folder:
		for subtag in tag_config.get('tags',[]):
			tag_paths.extend(filter_tag_configs(subtag, filter_test, path_to_tag))
	elif tag_type == TagObjectType.AtomicTag:
		if filter_test(tag_config):
			tag_paths.append(path_to_tag)
	return tag_paths

tag_config = system.tag.getConfiguration('[default]sandbox', True)[0]
paths_to_tags_with_disabled_alarms = filter_tag_configs(tag_config, has_disabled_alarms)
