The Alarm Manager is responsible for logging alarms, maintaining all alarm information, and keeping track of the current status of all alarms in the system for your application while it is running.

Whenever your application is stopped, the Alarm Manager automatically stores alarm information, ensuring that the last known alarm information is always available on the next occasion the application is started: even if the application has been unexpectedly stopped (e.g. due to a power failure).

To record and store information, the Alarm Manager maintains two different files: Alarms.log (log file) and the Alarms.db (data file). Both of these files are encrypted binary files used strictly by the Alarm Manager to store alarm-related data.
