Hello everyone,

in our project we want to display alarms delivered by the machine. These alarms are delivered throug Events. From [this post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/opc-ua-alarms-and-conditions/25033) it seems that the ability to do this through Ignition is planned for 8.3. Kevin suggests:

> You might be able to find a 3rd party OPC UA server that subscribes to events and in turn exposes them as a set of regular variables or something. Not really sure how that would work in practice

We tried using Kepex, but it only seems to work as a Server and not a Client, so it also doesn't read Events. Has anyone found a Workaround or a Third-Party Software that could do this?

Thanks!

I am also looking for a solution for subscribing to OPC-UA events in Ignition.
