I guess I would have expected there to be a `.ClearedUser` since acknowledging and clearing an event seem to be different events. There's no such thing as a clear user, because they're different (orthogonal) events. There are two binaries that compose into the four (ignoring enabled/disabled) possible states for an alarm: | | unacked | acked | | --- | --- | --- | | active | active, unacked | actived, acked | | cleared | clear, unacked | cleared, acked | So we capture an AckUser (ideally) when you move from unacked -\> acked for a given event, but there's no user associated with an active -\> clear transition, because that's happening whenever the alarm's condition is no longer met. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/creating-report-from-alarm-data-getting-user-who-acknowlegded-alarm-and-when/60450)._
