Hello,  
I would like to read out all my alarm events from my OPC-UA server (Siemens, Sinumerik controller).  
With the "client" node from "Node-red-contrib-opcua" I can get a connection with the server.  
In front of that node I placed the "event node" but there is nothing coming out.  
In the event node you have to fill in the field "root node" but I don't know what to fill in there.  
In an example it says: i=2253  
Where can I find what to fill in here?

I did get the alarm events out of the server in UA-expert, see last picture

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

> Hello, I'm trying to get Messages and Alarms of a Siemens OPC UA Server (SINUMERIK 840dsl). I've done this with a EVENT-Node of the "node-red-contrib-opcua" library. If I start my flow everything works well and I get my Messages and Alarms. But after this first start my OPC UA Server Crashes and is no longer reachable. I already tried to fix the Problem with the LocaleIds array in the ActivateSessionRequest Method, to send a ["en-us"] back instead of an empty array. But this also changes nothing…

pls, refer to this post, m also trying the same things. able to collect alarm and events in UA expert, got stuck in node-red.
