What is alarmActiveDescription?
This read-only object provides a dynamically generated, human-readable text description of an active alarm that helps network operators understand and locate the affected resource. The description is created by the notification generator to give context about what triggered the alarm and where the problem occurred. Operators rely on this text to quickly assess alarm severity and take appropriate remedial action.
