Issue
When viewing the Alarms tab in Power Monitoring Expert (PME), some alarms are stuck in an active state even though they no longer have active conditions. These alarms also do not show up in in Management Console's Deactivate Alarms tool.
Product Line
Power Monitoring Expert 9.0
Power Monitoring Expert 2020
Environment
Web Applications "Alarms" tab
Cause
The Alarm is still showing as active because the dropout condition for the alarm was never logged.
Resolution
First double-check to make sure the alarms you want to deactivate meet inactive conditions. After checking, go into Management Console -> Tools -> Deactivate Alarms -> Load Active Alarms. If the alarm shows up then deactivate it here. If not, determine the exact alarms that need to be deactivated from Alarm Viewer in the Web Applications. Note the Name, Type, Category, and Priority of the alarm. Then connect to SQL Server Management Studio.

SELECT * FROM vAlarmDefinition
UPDATE AlarmDefinition SET isActive = 0 WHERE (isActive = 1 AND Category = 'ALM_GENERIC_SETPOINT' AND Priority = 192 AND SourceID = 7);
