  The Alarm Gateway Configuration Tool is an OPC Alarms & Events (OPC AE) client application that subscribes to OPC alarm and event messages from the data source OPC AE server, and posts them to the RabbitMQ service for the Alarm Microservice to manage.
- Alarm Microservice
  The Alarm microservice receives messages from one or more Alarm Gateways, and manages the current alarm states in the context of the equipment model, including the alarm lists associated with each asset.
- Asset Microservice
  The Asset microservice is the interface to the model and performs all its create, read, update and delete operations.
- Entity-Metadata Microservice
  The Entity-Metadata microservice stores and serves model asset data required by clients to make decisions. For example, it determines whether you can write to a property/tag.
- Server-Details Microservice
  The Server-Details microservice manages the Server Alias table that enables you to set up connection information to different data sources.
- Tag-Source Microservice
  The Tag-Source microservice stores and provides the details of where an asset data variable retrieves its data. For example, Pump01.Flow gets its data from iFIX point FIX32.FLOW_TAG.
