2. Using the EventViewer control
By default, alarms are routed to the Windows Event Log on which the Agent Server resides. The information for each alarm is contained in the Message, SubSource, Value and Alarm type msg columns.

This control can then be used to filter on various Adroit events, including alarm entries and acknowledgements:
