Description: Category of the event being reported

What is category?

This read-only DisplayString, sent as part of HP OpenView Storage Area Manager traps, carries the category of the event being reported. It lets a management station or NNM console group and filter incoming SAN alerts by the functional area that generated them, such as accountant, allocater, builder, or optimizer events. An admin filtering the event browser might see a trap with category "STORAGE" and quickly know it belongs to the SAN device monitoring subsystem rather than a generic application alert.
