Unfortunately we did not find a way (so far) to access alarm status or
alarm serverity fields via the plugin. We can request data from PVs and
work with that (and set up alerts based on the data), but there is no
obvious way to access the other fields (unless they are "archived fields"
like HIHI etc.).

Maybe the plugin doesn't support this? In that case would could probably
fall back on creating an extra channel per device that reflects the error
status. Or would the first idea we had (simply adding PVNAME.STAT
explicitely to the archiver) work as well?
