What is cienaCesAlarmActiveDescription?
This is the human-readable text naming this specific active alarm instance, the live counterpart to the alarm model's own description but scoped to the row currently raised. Because this text is what actually surfaces in most alarm browsers without further lookups, its wording is what an on-call engineer reads first to know what's wrong before drilling into severity or managed-object details. For example, a value like "Loss of Signal - Port 2/4" appearing directly in this field lets a NOC tool display a readable alert without cross-referencing alarm model IDs.
