Pretty simple:

```python
events = system.alarm.queryStatus(state=[0,2,3])

events.getDataset()

Returns:

> File "", line 3, in  
> AttributeError: 'java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableRandomAccessList' object has no attribute 'getDataset'

> This is a bug caused by some "under the hood" changes from 8.3. We're tracking it internally at a fairly high priority - it'll likely be fixed in 8.3.4 or shortly therafter. In the meantime, you could try this as a workaround: from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.alarming.query import AlarmQueryResultImpl def datasetFromAlarms(alarms, historical=False): inner = AlarmQueryResultImpl(historical) # pass True if using queryJournal inner.extend(alarms) return inner.dataset alarms = …
