1. A method for providing alarm reporting, the method comprising:
- receiving an alarm from a first alarm feed;
receiving an alarm from a second alarm feed, wherein the first alarm feed and the second alarm feed are redundant sources;
generating a merged alarm to provide a unified view corresponding to the alarm from the first alarm feed and the alarm from the second alarm feed;
storing the merged alarm for retrieval by a reporting system; and
generating a merge key for uniquely identifying alarms that are identical.
