When an event or alarm is issued, Experience Portal sets the alarm status to Unacknowledged to indicate that the alarm is new. Experience Portal deletes Unacknowledged alarms from the database depending on the alarm retention period that you specify in the Alarm/Log Options page.
Acknowledged
You can set the event or alarm status to Acknowledged to indicate that you have seen the information but want to refer back to the event or alarm at a later point. Experience Portal deletes Acknowledged alarms from the database depending on the alarm retention period that you specify in the Alarm/Log Options page.
Retired
You can set the event or alarm status to Retired to indicate that you no longer need to refer to the alarm. Experience Portal deletes Retired alarms from the database depending on the alarm retention period that you specify in the Alarm/Log Options page.
