You might find the _count_ member of the [Alarm event](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/related/ApamaDoc/index.html?com/apama/cumulocity/Alarm.html) useful. This will be 1 the first time the alarm is triggered so can be used for filtering in an [_on_ statement](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fre-DevApaAppInEpl_specifying_the_on_statement.html) in order to send a notification. If alarms are generated at very regular intervals (for example, exactly every minute) then it might be sufficient to [listen for alarms](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fta-DevApaAppInEpl_using_name_value_syntax_to_listen_for_events_with_particular_content.html%23) with [_status_ “ACTIVE”](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/related/ApamaDoc/com/apama/cumulocity/Alarm.html#status) that have a count divisible by the number of minutes in a day using the [modulo operator](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fre-ApaEplRef_multiplicative_operators.html%23wwconnect_header) to get reminders roughly every day. It is possible this method of filtering has not been implemented. Alternatively, you could start a 1 day timing listener in response to the first alarm event (see the [wait operator](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fco-EplQueRun_query_wait_operator.html)) that stops (is cancelled) if an alarm event is received with ACKNOWLEDGED or CLEARED _status_. `on all (wait(5.0)) and not Alarm(status!="ACTIVE")` This uses the _and_ and _not_ [event listener logic](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fco-DevApaAppInEpl_specifying_and_or_xor_not_logic_in_event_listeners.html%23). Rather than starting a timer for each alarm you could alternatively [query for alarms](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fco-ConApaAppToExtCom_cumulocity_querying_for_alarms.html) that are active [at a particular time each day](https://documentation.softwareag.com/pam/10.15.3/en/webhelp/pam-webhelp/index.html#page/pam-webhelp%2Fta-DevApaAppInEpl_triggering_event_listeners_at_specific_times.html%23). ---

This can be achieve by defining 2 EPL apps, one will listen only new active alarm where count is 1 and send notification And another EPL can be run at any particular time daily to fetch all the alarms that are still active and created date is older than today. ---
