This read-only counter reports the cumulative total number of minor-severity alarms that have occurred since the system last restarted. Admins use it to see the historical volume of lower-severity issues a device has raised since it last came online, useful context when triaging whether current minor alarms are a new or recurring pattern. For example, an admin noticing ituAlarmActiveStatsMinors is unusually high relative to the critical and major counts might conclude the device generates a lot of noise-level alarms that could benefit from threshold tuning.
