Alarm Output
apama.analyticskit.blocks.cumulocity.CreateAlarm
Creates a new Alarm object for a specified device or for the current device with a pre-configured alarm name and parameters.
This block produces synchronous output. The parameters that define the output stream are "Device or Trigger Device" and "Alarm Type". Using another instance of this block with the same output stream is not allowed.
If createAlarm is provided repeatedly, then the count of the alarm is increased (unless it has been cleared). If the severity or status inputs are used and have changed, then the count is not increased - the existing alarm is modified instead.
