Trapping alarms from other process

[Toma]

How can get the name of process generating alarm
with Alarm object?

When alarm is generated by other process
some members like $Alarm.active, $Alarm.unacked
change their values but $Alarm.tagname, $Alarm.message,
$Alarm.process are empty. At the same time
Alarm Window shows all the data.

Hi Sergei,

The behavior you have reported is not the expected one and I am reporting it to the Lookout development team so that we can address it in the next version of the software.
As a workaround you might want to consider to show the $Alarm from underneath the process where the alarm is being generated from, the $Alarm datamembers from underneath the specific process will show the tag responsible for the last alarm.
