Simplifying Source Path for Alarms

[arpit_arun_kumaar]

I am running Ignition v8.1.37. On my alarm status table, I wish to simplify the way the source path is displayed. For instance, currently for all of my tags, the source path is represented as: prov:default:/tag:TagPath:/alm:Message. I am looking for a way to just display something just the TagPath in that column. I was thinking of a way using custom parameterized expressions or something but couldn't get far with that.

Did you add a display path to your alarm?

Anyone found a solution for this? Currently having the same challenge here. I am already using DisplayPath to display the department responsible to look at the alarm. I would really need to simplify the source path to something more readable

I'd suggest creating a new topic.

The discussion here, may be of interest to you.

How does system.alarm.queryJournal() query for "source"?

I haven't been able to find precise details on what the path and source parameters are actually querying against. I want to be exact in my tag alarm queries, because some tag paths are subsets of others (have similar names). So far, I've found the following: "*Path/To/Tag1*" returns multiple alarms (ie. Path/To/Tag1 and Path/To/Tag10 both match the former path) "*Path/To/Tag1:*" avoides this problem because the source always ends with a colon (apparently) "*:Path/To/Tag1*" doesn't return anyt…

Hi Andrews, sorry I am a bit new. Do you mean a new property for the alarm? Like a custom property?

Thank you very much Irose. Indeed what I am trying to achieve is that my email notification instead of displaying:

"AL006" at "prov:default:/tag:Tiofarma/OB/HB1/Preparation_weighing_CZV/0210_TubeFiller1/AL006/AL006:/alm:AL006" became active at 04:51:06

That they display something like:

"AL006" at "0210_TubeFiller1" became active at 04:51:06

Thank you very much for your guidance
