Here's the scoop...the people we have using this are using it to satisfy
FDIC regulations...that they are checking the event logs everyday from
all the systems (windows servers and workstations)...we are shooting
those through a trap or with ntsyslog...so they show up as events.
I'm not opposed to alarms...but what would alarms give me over the
events? With the events, they have a time stamp of who acknowledged them
over the time...alarms would be the same...wouldn't this just suck up DB
space?

They are timer based.

I'm surprised that you are acknowledging events. Event
acknowledgements will go away someday. Why not ack alarms instead?
What does acknowledging events get you?
In 1.7, there is a ReST API for acknowledging Alarms. Also, in 1.7,
there is a new model class called an Acknowledgment and and API called
Acknowledgeable of which Alarms and Notifications implement. When a
user or the API acknowledges an Alarm or a Notification, an
Acknowledgment is created. The service layer processes the
Acknowledgment by acknowledging an related Alarms or Notifications
(i.e. a user acks a notif, any related alarms are acknowledged as
well) and persisting the ack so that you have a record of this
activity: ack, unack, clear, escalate are actions that get recorded in
the acks table.
