mask
Module: SNMP540-ALARM-MIB
OID (symbolic): SNMP540-ALARM-MIB::mask
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.8.4.10.5.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: The alarm masking control. When the value is mask(1), then the alarm is masked and will not be reported. When the value is unmask(2), then the alarm will be reported depending on the threshold configuration.
What is mask?
This object controls whether a given alarm is masked: mask(1) means the alarm is suppressed and will not be reported, while unmask(2) means it will be reported subject to its threshold configuration. Admins set it to silence noisy or expected alarms without disabling the underlying detection. Setting mask to mask(1) on a known non-issue alarm stops it from generating further reports while leaving other alarms unaffected.
