Hi Sudipta.trpathy

You could try using system.alarm.acknowledge which allow you to ackknowledge any number of alarms, specified by their event ids. [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.alarm.acknowledge](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.alarm.acknowledge)

Thanks,
