I have one gateway ignition Version: **8.1.10 (b2021090812)** and I have very strange value in alarms journal. Alarm journal is in postgres sql.  
I have configured many alarms. Every alarms is one tag bit OPC with Siemens and every tag have only one alarms configured with mode equal=1  
In the alarm journal I found many duplicated events. Why?

In the uploaded file the alarm journal example and the results of the query. If I use the query browser executing this select I see many duplicates:

> select eventtime,eventid,displaypath,source,eventtype, priority, eventflags, count(id),min(id),max(id) from alarm\_events e  
> group by eventtime,eventid,displaypath,source,eventtype, priority, eventflags  
> order by eventtime

Thank you

Were you able to fix this issue? I am having the same problem. Every alarm event shows up as a duplicate alarm entry in the database.  
I am running 8.1.45  
I stopping the services on the redundant server and triggered an alarm and still got a duplicate journal entry.
