1. A method for processing alarms from one or more building domain systems serving a building or facility, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of alarms at a communications bridge between the one or more building domain systems and a cloud computing system;
generating, by the communications bridge, a label indicating at least one of the plurality of alarms as duplicative of a first alarm based on an alarm labeling rule evaluated by the communications bridge by labeling the plurality of alarms with generated times, alarm expiry times, and alarm IDs, wherein labeling the plurality of alarms with the alarm IDs comprises assigning the alarm IDs by determining whether to reuse, for a second alarm, a first alarm ID from the first alarm based on whether a second generated time for the second alarm is between a first generated time for the first alarm and an alarm expiry time for the first alarm; and
sending the plurality of alarms and the label from the communications bridge to a cloud computing system; and
determining an occurrence count of the first alarm by counting the at least one of the plurality of alarms labeled as duplicative; and
providing a graphical user interface comprising an alarm list comprising an entry for the first alarm and the occurrence count of the first alarm.
