What is prvtAlarmCurrentDescription?
This read-only OCTET STRING gives the textual description of a current alarm, paired in the same table row with its severity and raised time. Admins read it to understand what specifically triggered the alarm without needing to cross-reference a separate alarm code table. For example, the string might read "Fan 2 failure detected" to explain exactly what condition raised that alarm entry.
