What is cyanEventSourceDescription?

This is a descriptive text string identifying the specific object that gave rise to the event. Admins use it as a plain-language label supplementing the AID, making the event log entry easier to interpret without decoding addressing syntax. For example, it might read OC-48 Trunk Port 2 to describe in plain terms which interface the event concerns.
