Ignition Edge alarm history not coming in

I am running Ignition Edge version 8.1.21. I have alarms coming in correctly through an alarm status table. I also have an alarm journal but I am not seeing any alarms coming in. I know I don't have to enable tag history if its an alarm. I have enabled ALARMING-->Journal and have it set to default settings. What am I missing?

Not sure how that's done in Edge. Since an alarm journal is normally created with a database connection. Those don't exist in Edge. :man_shrugging:

Turns out I had to have the 'name' of the alarm journal object set to nothing. I had imported this screen from another project that used full blown ignition so I had to have name set to the alarm journal profile. Once I cleared out the name property the history came up fine!

That's a little confusing. I just ran into the same problem and wanted to add some information for future people that find this post via search.

When you create a new alarm journal table on a perspective edge app it will default the "props.name" property on the journal to "Journal". Not to be confused with the "meta.name" property of the name of the journal table control. This configuration does not work in edge. You have to delete the value of "props.name" to make it have a value of "" in order for it to work.

Summary.
"props.name" needs to have a value of ""
"meta.name" can be named anything.
