No, it’s not possible right now. Only a tag’s Value property is exposed via the OPC UA interface.

Would you want to see alarm configuration properties or actually be notified when alarms events occur?

As for me it will be usefull to expose some OPC item for alarm’s states values of a tag. I though about a folder alarms with items named with alarm’s name and a boolean value, true if alarm active
