So @paul-griffith would you recommend I use [`AlarmStateTransition`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.24/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/alarming/AlarmStateTransition.html) or [`AlarmState`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.24/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/alarming/AlarmState.html) for obtaining the alarm event information I want?

Based on your [post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/getting-the-initial-value-that-triggered-an-alarm/53820/8) it looks like I should be able to get the information for the sourceEvent. However, when I've tried it on my end I get errors.
