Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 130 rows came out of a blueprint — 17 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Alarm ID unique per event
Timestamp with millisecond precision
Alarm priority: critical, major, minor, informational
Alarm state: active, cleared, acknowledged, shelved
Alarm type: equipment failure, limit exceeded, communication loss
Sequence of Events (SOE) logging
Operator acknowledgment timestamp and user ID
Operator actions taken and comments
