Hello.

I’m using ignition 7.8 and i need to erase the alarm history, I’m using the ignition default database (without any external database) in a “recycled project” so there are a lot of old and false alarms. I have not find info about this theme. Is there a file or something that can be erased or edited?

If you are storing alarm history using the alarm journal, all of the history is saved in your database. So you can remove or drop the alarm journal table from your database. By default they are “alarm\_events” and alarm\_event\_data" but they may have changed based on your journal settings in your gateway.
