Not sure What I have going on with my alarm duration, it continues counting even after the alarm is cleared. this alarm is in a UDT and i have tried several dif modes with the same result. my alarm journal shows when it is active and when it is cleared. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/c/9cb979b2916689d3c48f28849ecd09ea3ca6c83b.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/f/5ffe33a2f78bd6bc2d0df48b9de39fedd90436da.png) ---

I got this to behave a little more like what i would expect by checking the "use current status instead of history" which implies that the alarm journal is broken, because this "Enabling this checkbox will cause the data source to ignore the Journal Name property on the right." according to docs. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/0/90a7f5761ad36e6a52f548d851cb64d8ed691375.png)
