You will have to use extension functions of the component filterAlarm

Thanks for reply. But how can I check whether the events belong to Live Limit events/Auto-Ack?

</div>

you can add something like:

```auto
	def filterEvent(alarmEvent):
		try:
			if alarmEvent==None:
				return True
			ackUser = get(alarmEvent,'AckUser')	
			if ackUser!=None:
				if str(ackUser) in ["tag:Live Event Limit","tag:Auto-Ack"]:
					return False
				else:
					return True
			else:
				return True
		except:
			return True`

```

Thanks for reply. But I not sure what’s the problem here, seems like it doesn’t work too.

Hi Mazeyrat, I think there’s something wrong with the code you shared.  
However, I found that the code below works!  
Btw, thanks for your tips! 🙏

```
substring1 = "tag:Live Event Limit"
substring2 = "tag:Auto-Ack"
val = str(alarmEvent.get("ackUser"))

if (substring1 in val) or (substring2 in val):
	return False
else:
	return True
```
