This holds the specific reason code - priority-based election, an explicit preemption, or the previous master simply stopping responding - carried in the payload of a cVrrpNotificationNewMaster trap, giving the NOC immediate context for why a master transition just happened without needing to correlate multiple other counters after the fact. It's what turns a bare 'master changed' alert into an actionable one: masterNoResponse strongly suggests investigating the previous master for a failure, while preempted or priority-based reasons suggest the transition was expected behavior from the VRRP election logic itself. Seeing repeated masterNoResponse reasons for the same virtual router over time is a much stronger signal of a real, recurring stability problem than seeing repeated priority-based reasons from normal, healthy operation.
