cmTrapMinorAlarmCount is a read-only integer reporting how many minor-severity alarms remain uncleared on the system. An administrator tracks this lower-urgency count to catch smaller issues accumulating over time, such as a series of intermittent line errors, before they escalate. For example, a steadily rising cmTrapMinorAlarmCount over several days might prompt the operator to review the alarm log for a recurring low-level problem worth addressing proactively.
