What is patDesc?

This read-write DisplayString holds a human-readable description of the diagnostic pattern configured in patternName. An admin uses it to document what the regular expression in this row is actually looking for, since the raw regex alone may not be self-explanatory. Setting patDesc to something like "disk read error signature" tells another admin reviewing the table what patternName's regex is meant to catch.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.45.1.1.1.1.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HWDIAG-MIB2::patDesc

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.45.1.1.1.1.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HWDIAG-MIB2::patDesc.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.45.1.1.1.1.3.1.4.1 s <value>
