Is it possible get the alarm from a gateway 8.1 into a remote gateway that is running a 7.9 version.

Remote journal does not seem to be compatiable between 7.9 and 8.1

Same issue here. Our edge gateways are 8.1 and the older main gateway is 7.9. Regardless of trying different methods of alarm setups we are not able to get the alarm status of any of the tags, just the values.
