You would add `Enabled` or `Disabled` to the `state` property you pass to the query, it looks like.

I’ve activated this feature in an Ignition **8.1.8** application.  
It works, but in the alarm journal in perspective, the field **label** has the **Alarm Name** for event **Enabled and Disabled**.  
For other alarm’s events for the same alarms, the label value has the good value.

More over, these new events are stored wihtout the **alarm’s associated data** in the database ☹

According to IA support **#28468**  
The feature is not implemented in Ignition **8.1.8 - 8.10**  
You can vote to add this feature:

I tried, but can't login to ideas site with my IA account creds. Standard browser troubleshooting does not resolve (MS Edge on Mac). I thought this issue was resolved a while back.

Just to be clear, are you claiming that these settings are still not honored for enabled/disabled events? (I haven't yet tested myself, still in research phase):

As browser default security tightens up, cross-domain authentication becomes more and more flaky. I haven't been able to log in there for years, now.

IA should drop [canny.io](http://canny.io) and just use this forum. IMNSHO.

Yes that's the issue. **enable/disabled events** doesn't capture associated data.  
So you can't use associated data to filter those events like with alarm's events.  
IMHO, it is not very consistent !
