Alarm disable for period of Time

[SergeyK]

What is the best way to disable Alarm for configurable period of time?
This should be done in runtime, with minimum user access check.
Alarm to be re-enabled automatically after time lapsed.

Hi,

Are you talking about shelving or totally disabling it?

if disabling, you can use _alert_hdl.._active to disable it.

Be careful about some points:
- If you activate again, new instance will be generated not related to previous one.
- Use dpSetTimed with NULL time: To avoid an increasing size of the configuration history the time of the configs _alert_hdl and _alert_class can be set with dpSetTimed(0,...).

If shelved, you will need to develop it yourself. Perhaps using add_values and filters.

In the topic 'Alert with time hysteresis' there are some suggestions to temporary disable alarms.
