You can't, history has no time-delay settings. You would need to script this yourself if you wanted to do it. You could use `system.tag.storeTagHistory` to do it

Although, I'm not sure why you would want to add history to an alarm tag, as alarm history should use the alarm journal

Not sure what you mean?

If I set alarm delay active,but hisotry record this active value.  
Query history chart will see the alarm value,but in fact,I don't want to see the delay active value.
