Description: Once an alarm is 'completed', monitoring for that variable may be distributed within an enclosure to another processor. Factors affecting this decision include variable type, slot number, and processor type. Furthermore, alarms which have identical parameters (variable, interval, thresholds, etc.) are viewed by the monitoring processor as a single 'object' to monitor.

Alarm variables falling into this category are a subset of the repeater MIB and iTouch repeater MIB objects.

This field represents the number of 'objects' this system CPU is monitoring on behalf of alarms which were distributed to it by a management processor.
