What is prvtAlarmCurrentCounter?
This read-only Counter32 serves as the running, ever-incrementing index for open alarms in prvtAlarmCurrentTable, incremented each time a new alarm is raised and cleared back to zero on device reset. It's the index admins and monitoring tools use to identify and iterate through individual active alarm entries. For example, an alarm raised as counter value 17 lets an admin look up its severity and description via the row keyed on that same 17.
