You can configure some event-to-actions with a second event that must be triggered before the triggered alarm can be acknowledged. The second event is the acknowledgment condition.
For example, you can configure a Signal lost event to trigger an alarm, and specify that the alarm can only be acknowledged after the Signal recovered event is generated.
To configure an acknowledgment condition that must be cleared before the alarm can be acknowledged, you can use the following event types:
Source event type | Entity type | Acknowledgment condition |
