This read-write INTEGER controls and reports the row status of a threshold crossing alert entry, with values valid(1), createdRequest(2), underCreation(3), or invalid(4). An admin uses this to create, activate, or delete a TCA table entry, following the create/activate/destroy row lifecycle common to SNMP conceptual tables. As an illustrative example, an admin would set this to createdRequest(2) while building a new entry and then to valid(1) once all its other fields are configured, or to invalid(4) to remove it.
