This notification variable carries a fixed-format text string, the legacy INADS alarm format, that packs a product ID, the date and time of the alarm, an alarm-type code, and up to 217 bytes of free-form alarm detail into specific character positions, always ending in a space. An admin, or more typically the receiving monitoring application, parses this positional string to extract the alarm type and details programmatically, since it predates structured SNMP varbind conventions. For example, an inadssnmpAlarmMessage might read something like 'AVAY0001 15/14:32,MAJ|Power supply failure detected ' packing the product ID, timestamp, alarm type, and description into the documented byte positions.
