What is otmOriginatingAgent?

This string, 7 to 15 characters, holds the IP address of the SNMP agent that actually sent the trap, as distinct from the system or component that experienced the underlying problem. Admins use it to know which network element to reach when polling for more detail or verifying connectivity to the alerting agent. For example, otmOriginatingAgent showing '10.20.30.40' tells the admin which management agent to SNMP-poll directly for further diagnostics.
