Fired Alarm Log

This screen holds the changes made to fired alarm records: an alarm coming up, being acknowledged, commented on, or forced off.

Columns

Column	Description
Operation	INSERT or UPDATE
Record Id	The fired alarm record’s identifier
Changed By	Who made the change — a user, or SYSTEM
Date	When

The filter panel searches by operation, user, record id and a date range.

SYSTEM against a user name

Rows where Changed By is SYSTEM are the alarm’s own life cycle: the condition was met and the alarm came up, the condition passed and it cleared. A user name means a person intervened — acknowledged it, added a comment, or forced it off.

When investigating why an alarm cleared, that is the first distinction to draw: did it clear by itself, or did somebody clear it.

Read it alongside the alarm screens

This screen gives the record’s history of change, not the alarm itself. For what the alarm is and its present state use Alarm Monitor, and for its past Alarm History.
