Perhaps you could use the [system.alarm.queryStatus()](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?system_alarm_querystatus.htm) function and use a wild card to get all the alarms. Best, ---

not sure if this will work in 7.7 but it will in 7.5 and 7.6 as long as you have the ialabs module. It will run thru all of your tag folders and print out the tagpath of any tag with an alarm configured and whether the alarm is analog or digital. be prepared, if you have alot of tags it will take quite a while. ```auto tagProvider = '[put the tag provider name here]' folder = '' folderPath = tagProvider + folder tags = system.tag.browseTags(tagProvider + folder,recursive=1) for tag in tags: tagAlert = system.tag.read(tagProvider + tag.path + '.alertmode').value if tagAlert != 0: if tagAlert == 1: print tag.path + ' = digital' elif tagAlert ==2: print tag.path + ' = analog' ``` ---

For posterity: Using `system.alarm.queryStatus(source="*")` as Nick suggested is far quicker than using browseTags. It also gets you access to all of the alarm's configuration properties, rather than just the modified-from-default properties. > [@Best way to generate an alarm list](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/best-way-to-generate-an-alarm-list/11773/2): > > results = system.alarm.queryStatus(source=["\*"]) for alarm in results: print alarm.source That should do the trick. Of course that just gives the source, but you could use the alarm object to grab whatever configuration settings you wanted out of it. ---

Hi, How can I do that in Ignition 8.0.14? it seems that system.alarm.queryStatus() is obsolete because it throws the following error when I execute this: system.alarm.queryStatus(state=[“ActiveUnacked”],path=["[Empresa01Tags]Area 02/Nivel"]) **Traceback (most recent call last):** \*\* File “”, line 3, in \*\* **AttributeError: ‘com.inductiveautomation.ignition.designer.gui.tool’ object has no attribute 'queryStatus’** ---

I use this in 8.1.0 to get a list of the configuration of all alarms. Just change the folder path for your project. ```auto def PrintAlarms(): alarms = GetAlarmData() for alarm in alarms: print alarm def GetAlarmData(): alarms = [] # tag folder folder = "[Default]" # read the configuration of all tags nodes = system.tag.getConfiguration(folder, True) # get a list of all alarms in this folder including nested tags alarms = GetAlarms(nodes, '') return alarms # Get alarms from all tags and nested tags def GetAlarms(nodes, path=''): alarms = [] # check each node for item in nodes: # each tag has the following keys: # name. # path. # tagType. # tags. if 'name' in item: tagName = item['name'] else: tagName = 'Unknown' tagType = item['tagType'] if path == '': tagPath = str(item['path']) else: tagPath = path + '/' + str(item['path']) if 'tags' in item: # found some nested tags alarms += GetAlarms(item['tags'], tagPath) if 'alarms' in item: # found some alarms for alarm in item['alarms']: # add the tag details to the alarms list alarm['TagName'] = tagName alarm['TagPath'] = path alarms.append(alarm) return alarms ``` ---

> [@cristhian.rey](#): > > it seems that system.alarm.queryStatus() is obsolete It shoudn't be. It works on 8.1.0 Script Console. Where are you trying to use it?
