I have a UDT with 1024 alarms tied to one integer, the alarms are based on the value of the integer, 1 - 1024. If I modify the UDT, lets just say to change the priority of said alarms, it generates an alarm for all 1024 of those alarms and logs them to the journal. I have around 90 instances of this UDT so it is generating over 90,000 alarms every time I modify the UDT.

Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,

What is the configuration on the alarms? Can you share a screenshot?

Is this what you're looking for? This is one of the 1024 alarms.
