A system and method for acknowledging alarms is provided in which alarm acknowledgement information is managed in a distributed fashion by all entities interested in the alarms. In the course of an alarm acknowledgement being transmitted from an entity which generated the alarm acknowledgement back to the source of the alarm, each intervening entity records the fact that the alarm has been acknowledged, and sends notifications of this fact to other entities. In this manner, a single acknowledgement is propagated to the entire system. There is no need for a non-volatile store recording alarm acknowledgement information because the information will be present at a large number of entities any one of which can be used to update the information in a temporarily failed entity.
