Alarm iteration script error

Question

New to Foglight scripting and new to Groovy. 
 Been a Foglight admin for some time now and coder for much longer. 
 INn the script console I've been putting togethor a little something to iterate over all the current alarms. It's WIP and for now just breaks out when it finds a matching alarm then displays some details. 
 def alarmID
String alarmMessage
String alarmRule
String alarmSource
boolean foundAlarm=false

def alarmService = server.get("AlarmService")
def alarmList = alarmService.getCurrentAlarms()

for (alarm in alarmList) {
	alarmMessage=alarm.getMessage()
	if(alarm && alarmMessage && !alarmMessage.isEmpty()) {
 alarmID=alarm.getID()
 alarmRule=alarm.getRuleName()
 alarmSource=alarm.getSourceName()
 if(alarmRule.contains('Database_Error_Log')) {
 if(alarmMessage.contains('Error: 9414, Severity: 20, State: 1')) {
 foundAlarm=true
 break
 }
 }
	}
}
if(foundAlarm) {
	"Match found
ID: $alarmID Rule: $alarmRule Source: $alarmSource Message: $alarmMessage"
} else {
	"No match found"
} 
 
 Now, if I comment out either of the nested ifs that use contains it all works just fine. But if both are uncommented we get an error and stack thus 
 com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.ScriptingException: com.quest.nitro.service.sl.interfaces.scripting.ScriptAbortException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method contains() on null object
