Hello everyone I need to export the alarm history to a file which is then read/processed from our visualization. To not miss any alarms I need to know when I have to export the history before the oldest value is overwritten. Is there a way to do that? Thanks

Thanks so much @PatrickS for sharing your smart idea + code + traces. You already spent time on writing your answer, but I would like to ask you a favor, when you have time,: “Could you create a post for this topic on ‘Share info & Ideas’?“ Thanks again Ciao Valerio

Hi @Jurg_Heiniger , Could you mark the Patrick’s answer as a solution? Query feature was not ready at the beginning when R&D has released mapp Services, they developed that as Patrick showed us for improving the performance on our system. Thanks Ciao Valerio

Thank you very much for your effort to show and explain your solution! This helps me a lot (not just a little).

I took content of @PatrickS reply and created new wiki post from it.

Thank you for the positive feedback! @alexander.hefner also deserves a special mention here. He came up with the idea, or rather gave us the idea, when he was still our contact at B&R months ago. Thank you Alex, it works :wink:

Thank you very much, @PatrickS It’s great to see you and your colleguages actively contributing in our Community, and giving very valuable feedback and help, together we’re strong! My warmest greetings to you all!
