What is ituAlarmAdditionalText?

This read-write string field carries free-form additional descriptive text associated with an active alarm. Admins use it to attach human-readable detail beyond the standard coded severity and event type, giving operators extra context when triaging an alarm. For example, an admin or the managed system might populate ituAlarmAdditionalText with a message like "Fan tray 2 temperature exceeded threshold" to clarify the specific condition behind a generic equipment alarm.
